Lake Roosevelt Burbot Fishing Trips
« on: November 25, 2014, 07:22:59 AM »
We are starting to book for the upcoming Burbot season (Dec-Feb usually). Trips are 6 hours long, everything but your fishing license, food and drink are supplied. Usually take two people at a time. We have a heated jet boat so the ride is nice and warm. We also do rainbow trout trips. Burbot and Rainbow trips are $170 per person. Burbot are called the poor mans lobster...Good fishing everyone

I'm sure your fishing trip is great, and I have a good recommendation for your turkey hunts, however, Burbot are not even closely related to Lingcod since Lingcod are not members of the "Cod" family. 

Burbot (Lota lota) are the only freshwater member of the cod family and are found throughout Alaska in rivers and lakes. They have a very unique appearance with green and brown mottled skin, and a barbel (sometimes referred to as a “chin whisker”) similar to those found on catfish.

www.fishwatch.gov/seafood_profiles/species/lingcod/.../lingcod.htm
Lingcod is neither a ling nor a cod – it's a member of the Pacific greenling family, Hexagrammidae, native only to North Pacific waters off the west coast of North America. This fish likely got its name from early settlers due to its similarity to European ling and its cod-like white, flaky flesh.

Having said this, I'm thinking about booking one of your trips sometime.

I've already booked a trip as a Christmas present for my son.  Looking forward to it.

Thanks for the clarification on that always good to know the history. Yes we are catching a lot of Rainbows. Today we caught 2 limits of burbot, 5 walleye and 9 rainbows most in the 20" range.

A buddy caught this burbot, ice fishing in Alaska on Big Lake, near Wasilla on Christmas day. It's a whopper even for Alaska.

I was thinking close to four feet based on a ten inch long glove.  I've never caught one so don't know how much that would weigh.  Good eating, Im sure though.
