For three years now, fishermen have swarmed to Flaming Gorge in hopes of catching that one burbot that is tagged for big cash prizes worth $1000, $2500 or even $10,000. But Regional Fisheries Biologist for the Wyoming Game and Fish in Green River says the real prize for them is seeing the many fish removed from the water.
Amadio says that the burbot feed off of the food supplies of native fish and also on their eggs. They are most active in the winter.
This year, if a burbot is caught with internal tags from the past two years, those will be worth $100. Prizes will also be offered for the most burbot, biggest burbot and youth big and small. Teams of four can register on Friday, from 3-5p.m. at Buckboard Marina, located south of Green River, Wyoming along Flaming Gorge.
