[font "Times New Roman"][#000000]Okay, here are my thoughts on this. I would love to be able to fish the Gorge on a weekly or daily basis as you do. But, I just can't do that any time soon. I make an effort to fish for burbot on every Gorge trip. We have gradually moved our way up the reservoir to find a spot with good Mack pup spots,kokanee, rainbow, bass and burbot. The next target is Squaw Hollow. [/#000000][/font]

[font "Times New Roman"][#000000]I believe that you can be a very good tool for monitoring the burbot situation since you are on the Gorge so much. That goes for any other weekly/daily Gorge fisherman/woman. So I think you should spend alot of time fishing for burbot and finding the hottest concentrations in your areas. If the kokanee, rainbow, and bass suffer, so will the lake trout, and then business. [/#000000][/font]

[font "Times New Roman"][#000000]When or if I find a spot where I can catch tens or hundreds of burbot in one day/night I will devote to fishing many of them out. It would really help if we could know such great spots in advance so that no time for searching is wasted. I don't have a fast boat anyway. The guys with the 100+ HP motors can search a huge area. This may be too bold of a plan but it is worth a shot. [
