There are creatures that lurk at the bottom of Shuswap Lake. Arrow Lakes Reservoir (ALR) is located in the Hi burbot anglers, I have only caught burbot during the winter months, but was wondering how you might do so during the summer? What do you Burbot, also known as freshwater ling, mariah and eelpout (as well as any number of locality specific names), is the only freshwater member of the cod family. What it takes to catch a burbot is to fish at dark, in the dead of winter. I know that they go deeper during the summer months but how deep, like the deepest water in the lake or in-between? Though often sought, they are seldom seen. Anglers can catch more daytime burbot—and bigger walleye too, for that matter—by fishing with heavy jigs and pounding them into the bottom to attract their attention.
