This fish came from what I believe were probably both naturally reproduced
parents in the upper Turtle River watershed , Long Lake, and note the pike in the lake have a lot of green to them. Have also noted this type in the Chip and wonder if these maintain their pattern as they get bigger.

Location: milwaukee		This fish came out of a lake in that area. I would say the answer to your question may be 'yes'.

This pic was put up by Cisco Kid, not sure of the lake or drainage this one came from. Another interesting pattern.

Location: Minneapolis, MN		This lil' stinker bit on a bass tube. Natural offspring (I think) of a WI muskie and northern. From the Yellow River system, northwestern WI. My smallest muskie ever and also the coolest pattern!

Shrump has what I consider one of the common hybrid patterns. Stinger has something I have never seen before. Not positive that is hybrid or not, counted only 18 bars coming off the dorsal side, total. Wish we could see that in a couple years.

I have seen various patterns on Chip tigers, including one we caught in Crane Lake years ago that was the most beautiful powder blue you ever saw. I think there are actually a lot of patterns out there that people don't commonly see or associate with cross fish. I was just interested in some of the odder ones and if some basins are producing a repetitive type of pattern in their offspring.

It is hard to be sure with those pics Hot, but I don't think either fish you pictured is a hybrid. Not really interested in natural patterns, those have been documented repeatedly. More interested in naturally reproducing strains which hybridize.

All from the same lake; most from the same source; some from the same year class.

i like the contrast betweent the first picture and the last picture. lol...

those are MN/Leech strain on the muskie side, aren't they?
with Utah looking to secure it's own brood sources, what type of muskies are they going to be using?

Some of the tiger Muskies are Silver pike X Muskies. I guess those have a little different but very beautiful coloration. my dad got a little silver pike and it was just gorgeous.

Location: Ogden, Ut		All but the second to the last on were from fry obtained from Minnesota Muskie Farms. Whatever they use to build 'em is what we got. Our new source? I'll let you all know when it's finalized; the pike half is local though.

Well that would bring up another question. What northern pike strain is/was ever local to Utah?

Location: Ogden, Ut		Local is relative - it's a population that has been within the state a long time and has been certified as disease-free. it was introduced many years ago. No idea what 'strain' it may be. Certainly not native though, if that's what you were getting at.

That is the same pattern, and going back up the same watershed I got my two out of, correct Todd? I am of a mind these fish are strongly influenced by the pike side on pattern, and of note, my 2 and 2 you picture, sizewise could have been the same year class.

Location: North Central Illinois		Very amazing thread!!! My nephew-in-law caught this 41 inch BEAST of a fish on 7/19/08 in a Northern WI brown stained lake. Apparently, this patterning is highly common of tigers in this region of "rootbeer water" lakes. Check out this fish that was successfully released hopefully to be caught again (by me!!!)!!!!!

PM me as to what lake the fish came out of, if you will, I am curious.
I don't think this pattern is water color related, but that this is a specific gene blend coming up like this. But, that's why I posted about it in the first place.

It was also so sweet to see the expression on Sorno's face, i.e., a moment I will never forget!

Location: Contrarian Island		here is a 48" tiger my cousin caught last week on a Lac Du Flambeau reservation lake in Vilas Co. , they were walleye fishing and fish would not release and died.
and a few I have caught...tigers might be the prettiest fish out there!

Really nice fish, hard to tell with size of the picture but it looks like similar pattern on a bigger fish out of clearer water. That should be the same watertshed Todd M and I were fishing.
