Tiger trout – a hybrid of brook and brown trout – are
an aggressive and thus easily caught fish. They are also
one of the most beautiful fish that swims in fresh water.
A total of 20,420 tiger trout were stocked in the Bessey
Pond at the Nebraska National Forest near Halsey, Blue
Creek, White River, Ponca State Park, Fort Kearny State
Recreation Area No. 6, Rock Creek Lake, Lake Ogallala,
and Two Rivers No. 5 to provide diversity that we hope
anglers will appreciate and enjoy.
