HEre is an excerpt from the article in question that talks about burbot in FG: "If whitefish doesn't sound tasty enough to entice you to brave the frigid temperatures, maybe burbot will. Lowell Marthe, DWR project leader for Flaming Gorge and the Green River, made a trip to target the nonnative species and recent addition to the huge reservoir on the Utah/Wyoming stateline.
Marthe reports his party landed 13 of the flavorful fish in five hours of evening angling near the Firehole boat ramp on the northeast side of the reservoir in Wyoming.
The fish ranged from 13 to 23 inches and were caught on glow spoons and glow jigs tipped with cucker meat, crayfish meat or pieces of shiner. Marthe said the burbot were caught in 20 to 25 feet of water close to shore off a rocky cliff.
"As I had already experienced from back in Minnesota, the table quality is excellent," Marthe wrote, in an e-mail. "
