I know you guys always say the burbot will have an effect on the Kokanee population, but dont the lake trout eat the most Kokanee??? How come the people of Kokanee Nation dont say kill all the macs because they eat the kokes. But they say kill all the burbot, they will eat the Kokes !! A 40 lb mac will eat more kokes than a 14" burbot, and we let them go !! And if the burbot have been in there for 10 years like everyone says, shouldn't we see some effects??? It seems the Koke fishing was excellent this year, and I know a guy who has done the bass tourneys down there for years, and he says this was the best year EVER for bass fishing. I think the burbot thing is WAY overblown...the fishing is great on the Gorge and will continue that way.
