Eat them.  They are not a very sporting fish, but tasty.  Good luck catching them in the lower mainland though.  I have never heard of that before.  Maybe buntzen has them?  But I doubt it.

As far as I know there are no Burbot here in the lower mainland. Great eating fish! If it's table fair you are looking for, go whack some Bass or Crappie. Bass & Crappie make good substitues for Burbot, just like Rockfish make a good sub. for lingcod.

There are trophy sized burbot in Lake Revelstoke. Though, it's a little far away from the Lower Mainland.

Can you tell me where there are good spots for bass/crappie fishing in the lower mainland?  I am also new here.

Thanks.

So if crappie is a tasty fish, why do they call it crappie? :)

I caught them trolling flies although i am sure you can catch them on anything if you keep it small.

Caught what I thought was a burbot in the Fraser on Saturday. Small one, caught it in 50 ft. depth fishing for sturgeon.
