Fishnate is actually the one heading up there on Friday. I am a Realtor, I have to work some weekends you know! My wife has been pretty kind, she has let me go to the Gorge 8 of the last nine weekends.
My suggestions....try to hit Buckboard. If there is ample ice, you have a better chance at striking some burbot. We have iced over 300 burbot at Lost Dog and the catch rate just keeps slowing. There is heavy pressure from many different anglers at Lost Dog. The ice is realitively fresh at Buckboard which means the burbot haven't been harrassed (or eliminated) like those at Lost Dog.
Bait: I have had more strikes from my blue Radical Glow tube, than any other in my fleet. I won a Radical Glow basket at the Burbot Bash. The blue is a winner. It glows super bright and for some reason the burbot love it. Even though we iced only one last trip it came from the blue tube.
Hope it helps. If the wife does give me permission to go fishing again, I'll PM you. If I cant make it Flaming Gorge, come visit me on Red Fleet.
