Default Burbot in the bow

I know there there, and I've heard some people target them on the fly.

anyone on here do that? It sounds awesome

Caught my first a week and a half ago.

Good size and healthy at twilight.

On a spoon, not a fly though.

I'm sure there are a lot more in there than most people think.

Got my first one this spring, in Fish Creek Park. Slow water and the Wooly Bugger was barely moving. A large stick will put up more of a fight.

Sounds like one of my next goals! I would think you would need a fast sink tip or full sinking line.

Nymphing works.
Little white streamers on sinking line works
