Default Bow Burbot

Howdy fellas,

A girlfriend of mine was scuba diving in the Bow this weekend in between Bowness and the Weir in Calgary this weekend and she has reported that there are strong numbers of HUGE Burbot (up to 36 inches) and Pike (up to 30 inches) all over the place in the pools. I live near the Bow and I have not heard many reports about Pike being in the bow. I have caught MANY pike out of the Elbow, so it makes sense that they are in the Bow.

What I am curious to know is does anyone fish for Burbot exclusively in the Bow? If so what are you using? The only bait allowed is maggots in a certain slot.

As well, the Bow is closed to fishing in the Ghost to Weir section until Nov 30, does anyone fish or have caught Burbs down from the Weir? Burbotman where are you on this one?

Tight Lines
