$1,000 reward offred for catching ugly fish
Wednesday, December 7, 2016
GREEN RIVER, Wyo. -- A $1,000 reward has been posted for catching ugly fish out of Fontenelle Reservoir in Wyoming. The fish are called burbot, and they're not native to the area. Burbot compete with native game species, including trout. Getting more people to fish for burbot is a way to reduce their numbers, so Game and Fish and Trout Unlimited are sponsoring a burbot raffle. Anybody who catches one of 25 tagged burbot from Fontenelle may enter a raffle with a $1,000 grand prize.
