Default Catfish rumor
There's been more than one person now telling me about catfish in ghost lake. Anyone ever heard of this before?

It's too cold for them to survive there.

Maybe Burbot, sometimes referred to as cats by old-timers.

My first thought was Burbot too, but a new introduced species wouldn't surprise me

X2 Ghost is way too cold for any catfish to survive

Burbot for sure
