The Tiger Trout is a hybrid river fish of Fall and Winter. It bites by day in the rivers of Pelican Town and Cindersap Forest, in any weather. It is a lively dart fish that tests a mid-level angler, and it sells for a good price for a river catch. The Tiger Trout is one of the four fish in the River Fish Bundle, and Willy likes it as a gift. Demetrius may also ask for ten of them in a Special Order. Its pond works unlike any other, because the fish never breed and every one must be caught by hand.
The in-game description reads: A rare hybrid trout that cannot bear offspring of its own.
Catching
The Tiger Trout lives in the river that runs through Pelican Town and Cindersap Forest. It also swims in the rivers of the Riverlands Farm, the Forest Farm, the Meadowlands Farm and the Hill-top Farm.
It bites in Fall and Winter from 6am until 7pm, in any weather. That makes it a reliable daytime catch in Winter, when there is time to spend at the river.
On the line, the Tiger Trout is a dart fish with a fairly high difficulty. It jumps quickly from one end of the bar to the other. A Cork Bobber widens the green bar and a Trap Bobber slows its escape, which makes it far easier to land.
Magic Bait removes the season and time limits.
The fish can also be bought. Krobus sometimes stocks it on Wednesdays for 200g, and the Traveling Cart may sell one for 450g to 1,000g.
Prices
The Tiger Trout sells for a good price for a river fish. Iridium quality doubles it. The Fisher profession adds a quarter, and Angler adds half.
A Fish Smoker doubles the Tiger Trout's price once more and keeps its quality, at a cost of one Coal per fish.
The Fish Pond is where the Tiger Trout stands apart. The pond can hold ten fish from the start, with no requests to complete. In return, the fish never reproduce, just as the hybrid's description warns. Every fish in the pond must be caught and added by hand.
A fuller pond gives more roe. A pond of up to four fish produces one roe on every item roll. From five fish, some rolls give two roe. At a full ten, most rolls give two roe, so a full pond turns out a pair of roe on most days. Tiger Trout Roe is worth 105g, and a Preserves Jar turns it into Aged Roe worth twice as much.

Uses
The Tiger Trout is one of the four fish in the River Fish Bundle in the Fish Tank. The others are the Sunfish, the Catfish and the Shad. It bites only in Fall and Winter, so on a farm started in Spring it is usually the last of the four to arrive. Completing the bundle rewards a stack of bait.
Demetrius may post "Aquatic Overpopulation" on the Special Orders board in Fall and ask for ten Tiger Trout. Finishing it earns the trout's sale value and the recipe for the Farm Computer.
In the kitchen, the Tiger Trout counts as "any fish" for Sashimi, Maki Roll and Quality Fertilizer.
At the Sewing Machine, a Tiger Trout in the spool makes a dyeable Fish Shirt.
A Bait Maker turns one Tiger Trout into Tiger Trout Bait. Targeted bait raises the chance of hooking another Tiger Trout, which is the fastest way to fill a pond or finish the Special Order.
Gifts
Willy likes the Tiger Trout. It is a solid everyday gift for him in Fall and Winter.
Among those who feel neutral about Tiger Trout are Elliott and Sebastian. Leo also feels neutral about it. The same goes for the older villagers Demetrius, Linus and Pam.
The bachelors and bachelorettes Abigail, Alex, Emily, Harvey, Leah, Maru, Penny, Sam and Shane all dislike Tiger Trout. The same goes for the children Jas and Vincent, and for the older residents Caroline, George, Jodi, Kent and Lewis. The shop owners Clint, Gus, Marnie and Robin dislike it too, and so do the Dwarf, Krobus, Sandy and the Wizard.
Evelyn, Haley and Pierre hate it.
Notes
Plan a Tiger Trout pond for Winter, when the fish bites all day and farm work is light. Ten catches fill the pond at once, so a few days of steady fishing with Tiger Trout Bait set it up for good.
