Flaming Gorge Reservoir in southwest Wyoming is one of the most popular fisheries in the state and the West. Anglers come from near and far to pursue lake trout, along with other trout and kokanee salmon, at Wyoming’s largest reservoir which also runs into Utah. However, there is one fish that isn’t welcome in Flaming Gorge — burbot. This species was illegally put in the Green River drainage more than 20 years ago, and the first documented recording of burbot in Flaming Gorge by the Wyoming Game and Fish Department was in 2006. Why such a fuss over burbot?
