The tiger musky is a "hybrid" produced when a male northern pike (Esox lucius) fertilizes the eggs spawned by a female muskellunge (Esox masquinongy). It is conceivable that one might find a tiger musky anywhere that both muskellunge and northern pike occur together, though it is not a common fish anywhere.
