Burbs
Will is right they are a great fish. Get by the looks of them and learn how to catch and filet them properly and you will change your mind. We wait for the winter and target them. They are just as good tasting as a good walleye, especially deep fried beer battered fish and chips. You can also fry them up and boil then dip in butter like lobster as well. Just remember there is not a lot of meat on them unless you get bigger size. There are a couple good you tube videos on how to skin them. Once you get the idea down they are one of the easiest to clean as there is no mess at all. For Calgary guys Pine Coulee just in front of the Campground/boat launch is good, Clear lake I hear, and we sometimes go to Crawling Valley out by the islands as well. Crawling has some nice ones there. We have caught many between 8-10 lbs. They are fun to try to get up the hole in the shack. At this rate we will be putting the boat back on the water not the shack for the winter. Looked this morning at the long range and no winter weather for the next week in sight. might have to try shore fishing them soon.
