I'm wondering specificaly about
1 - Tiger Trout (Brook x Brown)
2 - Sparr (Arctic x Brook charr)
3 - LandLocked Salmon
4 - Splake trout (Brook x Lake)
5 - Arctic Charr
6 - Any others I'm not thinking about
I can have any and all of these species here in Quebec & I'm wondering if one (or many) of these would be good to control the brookies in my pond, they spawn naturally & I want to be certain they don't overcrowd. Any of these additions would be in very small quantities, maybe a dozen or two for my 2 acres, of course these would be adults to avoid being expensive trout food.
Thank you all for your thoughts & comments.
If your brook trout will survive all of the above will too, but your Arctic Char prefer even colder water than you brooks.
Why not put a few of each in and see what happens? You could add a few brown trout too and they are very predacious -- just don't add too many.
