year of the Tiger...tiger trout.

As this is the year of the Tiger, I will need to make sure I get somewhere to catch one of these Tiger Trouts. I even found a web site dedicated to these prize fish (http://tigertroutfishing.com/)

    Can I ask a question?
    Is the tiger trout a sub-species or rainbow trout?
    Tiger trout is really a gorgeous fish!!!

    Here is what I found on line…

    The tiger trout (Salmo trutta X Salvelinus fontinalis) is a sterile, intergeneric hybrid of the brown trout (Salmo trutta) and the brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis). The name derives from the pronounced vermiculations, evoking the stripes of a tiger. It is a rare phenomenon in the wild, with the brook trout having 84 chromosomes and the brown trout 80.

    The tiger trout is a steriles?!
    So is it also means the amount of tiger trout is rare?
    Can you tell me where is the main spot to catch a tiger trout?
    If I got the chance to go there, I definitely want to get one.
    It looks more beautiful than brook trout.
