[font "Tempus Sans ITC"][#808000][size 3]Nice report Ash. I was in Green River last night and the Green was frozen all the way through town, and I assume it was that way until the confluence, so it won't be long.[/size][/#808000][/font]

[font "Tempus Sans ITC"][#808000][size 3]How are you guys taking care of those burbot? Can you filet them or is there some other technique that is better? I have read that you could gut them and then cut them into steaks like you would a salmon, is this true?[/size][/#808000][/font]

we have just been skining them like a cat fish then filetin them out thay are a little bit of a pain till you get it but with jeff skinin and me cutin we can do a pile fast man are thay good eats .just off the west end of lost dog out from the rocks has been the hot spot for us but as i have said thay are on every rocky point 23 ft was the #1 depth tonight we caught 46 before we headed in. the ice was only to fire hole and we went up to halfwayhollow up the blacks fork arm and saw no ice the water temp was 46 so it wont be long for the ice.ash

]. Sure hope I get a few on the ice this winter, sounds like some good eatin. WH2
part is that it is evident that they are in their thick now. Last year the reports we 8-10 burbot was a good night... now you're gettin' 50. [
