Burbot are a native fish that not many people have heard about. They are North America's only freshwater member of the cod family. More often targeted in the winter months when they are more active Burbot can be caught year-round and are found in many lakes and and rivers throughout Washington, Idaho, and Montana. Often referred to as poor man's lobster Burbot has firm white flaky meat that is considered choice for edibility. In this video Sidra and I spent a couple evenings targeting Burbot while camping in the Selkirks.

The kokanee trolling videos are great and very informative, but I definitely enjoy your videos where you target other species, river fish from the bank, hike in, etc.
I came back to watch this again!!! I'd love to see burbot through the ice
Can't wait for your Coelacanth catch-and-cook
😂
🤣🤣🤣
Strange watching you fish without trolling 🤣 thanks for sharing!
Hey Tyler, I enjoy your videos, knowledge and insight of the North West Pacific Fisheries. They've helped me revisit what I learned as a boy and am now passing on to my 11 year old son. Fishing is a right of passage as they say and I'm pleased to say my son is hooked! Your videos and tutorials helped us land some nice rainbows and kokanee this summer. Now his sights are set on fall salmon. This video on Burbot is awesome as this fishery is often overlooked! We're north of the 49th around Vancouver BC in the lower mainland, if you're ever up this way, drop a line (no pun intended)!
Glad you made a video on this. Most of what I can find on catching them is exclusive to ice fishing.
Flaming gorge has them and they're invasive. So you have to kill any you catch.
I can't see burbot being invasive.....who isngoing to catch and relocate them......ancient species been around north America forever
They’re huge in there too
@@bradfarrahgerwing154 they’re definitely invasive there some bucket biologist put them in they get massive in there too
My favorite lake. It's where I first tried all your tips and tricks for Kokanee and we slayed. Yeah, they're tiny kokes but it is a great beginner experience and was a confidence booster for a newbie.
What lake is it?
If you like burbot you should plan an ice fishing trip to flaming gorge this winter. They are huge in there and they have tournaments to try to reduce their numbers. Some bucket biologist introduced them years ago and they took off. Unfortunately they eat the Kokanee and not the stunted lake trout.
You always teaching me something Tyler, thankful for you and your knowledge....
I did not know they are a true member of the cod family! That’s awesome….lake Sullivan is very beautiful. I kayaked around about 4 years ago and saw kokanee surfacing.
Awesome stuff. This fish and lake are on my bucket list! Did you stay at the campground right on the lake?
Yes we camped right on the lake it was great!
Thanks for showing how to clean these.
Gotta love the slimy critters!
If you want to charge up glow-in-the-dark lures fast and have them be bright, use a UV flashlight. I've got one for UV resins that I use for fly tying that I bring along when fishing with glow lures. Works fast and charges them bright.
Yes I have and use those too
sure glade to see that the wife is doing better, thought im a trout guy i still in joy your content. and the videos.
One fish I haven’t caught yet. Great video
Thanks!
Thank you Chris for your support!
Ling: Member of the cod family (Atlantic)
Ling Cod: Not a member of the cod family (Pacific)
This is why taxonomy is WAAAY better than "common names", even though it isn't always reliable either. LOL
I REALLY want to catch a few of those. Bucket list fish, entirely because they're weird and ugly.
I've really gotta visit Lk Sullivan.
Fun place and beautiful too.
Awesome, always wanted to try catching burbot, just never targeted them. Do they taste as good as people claim, supposed to be poor man's lobster from what I hear.
It tastes great.
It is funny that lingcod are not a close relative to burbot as burbot are to cod. I am unfamiliar with burbot but they sure look like lingcod to me. The folks who study phylogenetics complicate the way we classify organisms but it is really interesting to see how everything really relates on the genetic scale. Great work catching neat fish!!
Convergent evolution is a very interesting phenomena.
Way cool stuff! 👍
Hey Tyler, come back to Fontenelle for some dandy Burbot ice fishing. Another hidden jewel species in there. Tight lines.
Do they catch Kokanee thru the ice there at all?
Yes we do. They cruise through while we are trout fishing. Your numbers where you were fishing are good for ice fishing as well.
We go out and ice camp of a couple of days and nights. Good times...
When does it typically lock up?
End of December usually.
Thank you.
Nice.
Great video thank you
What depth and lakescape are finding them in? Most productive tackle setup works for you?
Looks like dusk is the time to be out there.

Slopes near water inlets are best. I link the best lures in the description
Could a rattle jigging spoon for ice fishing be used as well?
Absolutely! I have a friend who has caught them rattle traps
Great video. What size Trout n Pout spoon are you using?
5/8 oz
Do you mark them on the finder sort of like walleye on the bottom?
We actually could mark them on occasion and often times would see them following the spoon.
Idk if you will see this but awesome video. what time of the year We’re you fishing ?I live about 10 miles from there and just got a kayak and wanna catch my first one.
August
@@spiltmilt thank you that’s awesome
Tyler, different question but what brand of shirt are you wearing and where did you get it The green pattern one at the beginning of video. Great video on Burbot, did not know you could get them in the summer, thought they were only a winter fish. Thanks for the info.
Those are Simms
@@spiltmilt Must be an older model and color as I do not see one with a zip up front nor that color. Thanks keep on fishing.
When you say you got them dialled in the next day. What did you learn? Jig cadence? Depth? Structure?
Yes habitat and jigging cadence as well as the bite window
@@spiltmilt What do you figure the best habitat was?
Steep drop offs
@@spiltmilt Am in guessing they are in the deep side of the steep drops. Or did they come up shallow at nigh?
On the slopes themselves we caught them from 45-80' deep
Where's a good lake for burbot in WA State? Been wanting to try catching one for years but don't even know where to start
This lake is the best lake.
@@spiltmiltok thank you, I'm into other side of state, guess I'll have to make a camping trip out of it sometime. You happen to ever fished cle elum lake?
Meant to ask during the live chat what do you use/recommend for spraying on your Salty kayak to protect it? Thank you in advance!
I apply 303 marine twice a year. Once in early summer and once in the fall amzn.to/3dLXjl2
@@spiltmilt Thanks again. Remembered you mentioned it once before but I was having a senior moment. Used your link too
Nice!!! How deep you were catching them?
45-80' deep
How do they eat? Seems like I’ve heard them called poor man’s lobster.
They taste great! White flaky meat reminds me of something between crappie and walleye
Does the method that you use to skin burbott also work with Ling cod or any other fish?
You know I'm not sure. I know it works with catfish.
Another awesome vid thanks for sharing, your having fun love it
What do they taste like?
Very similar to lingcod
Where is this lake?
North east WA
