Burbot

[BiggLuke]

Anybody every caught a Burbot (or fresh water ling) in washington?
I know they are SAPOSED to exsist.... but....
Damned if I've never seen one, let alone caught one.

Any Ideas as to where I might start looking for where and how to catch these weirdo trophies?

I don't know, but I think it would be pretty cool.

What do you guys think?

go to lake kachese (sp), guys do those ling lines and catch some absolute hogs, no clue when the season is

When crawdad season is over, I think Bourbot starts.....    (JOKE, trying to smile)

In lake Roosevelt this time of year Hawk creek and the Spokane arm both kick out lots of Burbout.  Use a yellow jig head with an avocado 3" grub tipped with a half of night crawler. Fish along the edges in hawk creek 35-55 fow, in the arm go to buoy 5 and fish the hole on the upside of the point 2-6 ponder and easy limit.

I have caught them on lake chelan last year. We were jigging for lake trout and catch them. They are good eating fish.
