Ice anglers will have a chance to catch tagged fish for prizes, including a $5,000 grand prize, during the annual Burbot Bash next week. The Burbot Bash is sponsored and all prizes provided by the Green River, Rock Springs, and Flaming Gorge Chambers of Commerce. There is a “catch” to the burbot contest: Tournament anglers will not know if they have caught a tagged fish. Game and Fish Green River Fisheries Biologist Craig Amadio says the internal tags are not visible and have been implanted in all sizes of fish. Therefore, all burbot caught will need to be checked in and scanned for tags at official inspection sites that will be open daily throughout the derby.
