Location: The desert | If you're looking in the US...UT has some quality fisheries, and one that is up and coming. |

| If you mean the Southwestern United States, there reportedly are tiger muskies stocked in some of the mountain reservoirs of New Mexico. They speak Spanish. There are also reportedly tiger muskies in some of the reservoirs of Utah. They are Mormons. For details check out the Fish commissions for these states. |

| Colorado no longer has a tiger fishery sadly, so a couple reservoirs still have a few fish in them, but no many. That might change with UT program if we can get fish from them. BR |

We're working on getting our rearing going but our hatchery guys have severely struggled raising tigers. I think we might get our first batch this year. |

Will be great if it gets started, CO will not accept fish from any other source at this point.
Also here is the pup, picking him up Saturday, these were taken this morning:)
