its a cold water species that is related to cod, only fresh water.  I have some pictures posted on the other threds in the forrum, so check them out....they are also known as lawyers, burbot, cusk, ling, etc.

God willing.

Drink lots of fluids jake...Not the Same that Trapperdirk drinks...but fluids that don't make you drunk. Seriosuly take care of yourself and post when you get the chance,....Remeber not to many months left to fish for em...Shame you cant be in the tourney i have a feeling you  would take it! Tight lines jake and take care of yourself!

we usually catch them in the fall too, me and my buddies that is....just use cutbait or whatever...lamperey larva work the best here...I've caught some nice ones in the fall too.  Just set it on the bottom and wait for a bite..i usually target them in the river in though, and i've never caught a burbot in a lake in the summer, But i have hardly tried either.   We go at dusk, and sometimes light a campfire and just chill till one of our rods start moving, its alot of fun,  when we go with our rods we nearly always catch fish, but not 25 in one night yet.  1-2 per person usually for 2-3 hours.  but time flys when your hanging out around the fire.

Sounds like it would be a great time...If i don't use a hut for ice fishing then i make a fire out on the ice..just bring a piece of ply wood 2 feet sq and place your logs on that and start a burning..Makes it kind of fun gives ya light to see your rods and keeps ya darn warm. Bring the marshmellows and weenies and its all good..Or just bring Trapperdirk he is one big weenie! ROFL tight lines!

 Oh the Germ is at it again . Seems now I'm a drunken weenie according to him . LOL
   We'll see who gets roasted won't we Germ . ;)
 I'll try and not torture you too bad cause you have to pull my rigging . Hmmmmm wonder what a fly feels like when you pull of its wings .LOL
  Ling can be caught year round I find but icetime is best . They must be spawning on the shale beds now I would think . I find at that time they are aggressive and will hit anything jigged .

Just stopped by wal-mart this morning to see if i could get one of those Piranha Fish finders they have advertised on the wal-mart site but all they have there is the 179 doller cuda's and not the 79 doller piranha..guess i could have called first. Wasn't a wasted trip though i managed to pick up some soft plastice glow lures there that jake suggest for Ling jigging...Well it wasnt exactly the one he uses but ill melt it to look like his rofl....As long as it still glows and looks like his then all it is after that is my technique...And i bet ya jake will post it again (his technique that is) i also have dead fish in the freezer waiting to be used as bait, smelly ones and ill pick up some live minnows for the trout. Im all set for LING cause i know trapper will forget to get me some before then...lazy bugger! ROFL tight lines!

 Well if you pull something out of the water that is long , slimy and resembles a fat thick pregnant eel . Well you will have seen a ling,burbot,eelpout, lawyer fish .
  Good table fare but definately not a pretty fish . LOL
  He fights you coming straight up  . But when nothing else bites the ling will.  Even at night and all night , just bait him .

I never have heard ANyone call a LINg a dogfish..Only when they mix the bowfin up with the Ling then they are just making a mistake but im from central canada so i Don't know about west side..but i think he covered about every other name you could call it..

That was me !  Dogfish is the most common nickname in southern Sask.  Further north they're called marias.
