Tiger Trout Introduction to seven Region 4 Ponds/Reservoirs – Draft Environmental Assessment Checklists
Feb 7, 2025 11:23 AM
Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks (FWP) proposes to stock tiger trout into seven Region 4 ponds or reservoirs, including Bair Reservoir, Crow Coulee Reservoir, Hansen Reservoir, Kingsbury Pond, Leningtons Reservoir, Maiden Spring Pond, and Upper Carter Pond. The primary goal of the fish introduction would be to provide additional recreational angling opportunities in these waterbodies. A secondary goal would be to provide some biocontrol on nongame species in some cases. Tiger trout are a produced hybrid of brook trout and brown trout. Triploid tiger trout eggs from Wyoming would be used as the source for stocking. They are sterile; therefore their numbers can be highly managed by stocking practices.
