Invasive fish and deer were hot topics Tuesday at the Green River council meeting. Janet Hartford, director of the Green River Chamber of Commerce, informed the Council about the Burbot Bash scheduled Jan. 22. The event is a week-long fishing derby aimed at reducing the number of Burbot, also known as ling cod, an invasive fish having an affect on local fish species in Flaming Gorge. More than $10,000 in cash prizes will be offered, including a $5,000 drawing for catching a special “tagged” Burbot. Other prizes include $600 for most Burbot caught and $100 for the largest and smallest Burbot caught.
