Not a fish bio, but...I'd be a little worried about introducing these into waters with bull trout populations. An all-male (and possibly hyper-male) population will be driven to find other outlets for breeding. Brook/bull hybrids are usually male brook, female bull from what I understand. 😳

I know about Tigers and Splake.
What do they call that hybrid when a brookie and a bull trout hook up?

I agree. If it is only Cutts in native streams it seems feasible.

Now is your chance Bruce! Pick a name.
How about Brull or Brullie? ;)
