The creation story of this hybrid fish.

Nestled in one of the gorgeous mountain ranges of the Crowsnest Pass lies the Allison Creek Brood Trout Hatchery, where a unique fish is created for anglers to enjoy. Tiger trout have a pattern unlike any other trout species. It sports an orange hue and an almost tiger-like striped pattern along its body - hence the name. These fish are created at Allison Creek by collecting eggs from brown trout and milt from brook trout. Thousands of these eggs are then sent to other fisheries around Alberta, where they will be raised into fish that will join stocking programs across the province.
