I believe that blues and tigers are hybrids of some sort - I'm not that
sure - tigers haven't been stocked for a while, but one or two get caught
from time to time. They have quite spectacular markings similar in a way to
brook trout but even more pronounced. The blue trout looks similar to a
rainbow, but the pinks of the rainbow are instead blue and there is an
overall blue silver sheen about the body. Sorry its not particularly
scientific. I'll try and get some photo's and do a series of species pages
on the web site with more info - once I've "genned up" on them.

The website doesn't mention golden trout either, and I've seen a couple of
those caught as well.

No offense intended, John. Like I said, if you like
it, hey, knock yourself out. But truth is, you don't
know what you're missing, and that's OK too, I guess.
You're probably better off that way.

We have stocked pay ponds here too, there are dozens
of them around the Smokies, and I wouldn't fish in
them for love nor money.

Some questions for you:

What's a blue trout ? Likewise, tiger ?

The web site says:
"The season for brown trout, tiger and brook trout runs
from March 15 through to October 6. Rainbows and blue
'bows are available all year round."

What happens on October 7th ? Do all the browns, tigers
and brookies pack up their bags and go to Venezuela to
play winter ball ? ;-)

(That was a baseball joke, sorry I don't speak cricket ;-)
