AG not to hash on your post but your argument is based purely on emotion. Your two reason for not liking Tigers are. 1- they are piscivorous but all trout are this way at a certain size. Is this really a biological reason to exclude Tigers from Utah waters? Do you have the same opinion with Pike, Lake Trout or Burbot?
2- They are highly deformed. I don't see a abnormal rate of deformations in Tiger trout more then any other hatchery pet. I see a higher rate of abnormalities from damage caused by anglers not genetics.
You say your pro-native but there are exceptions in certain waters. Maybe I'm just confusing myself but where is the biological reason in any of your post to be so anti Tiger.
