Tiger Trout

Tiger Trout were put on licenses for fish stocking in 2020 in Alberta. If you stock your pond to drop a line in, you probably want a tiger trout. These fun to catch fish have some unique characteristics. Here are some things for you to consider:

• In the first year of growth, Tiger Trout require consistent feed and we strongly recommend that you purchase fish feed to ensure that you see weight gains in your Tiger Trout.
• Fall stocking of fingerlings is only viable in ponds that have aeration to overwinter the fish.
• Alberta Environment and Parks has noticed that ponds stocked with Tiger Trout as the dominant, or most plentiful, species population do not do well for longevity. Please discuss your stocking plans with us so we can help you make the most of your Tiger Trout.
