[A burbot is opened to show stomach contents and egg production of a female fish previous to spawning in January]The Burbot - The burbot or ling, Lota lota lacustris, is a native to Lake Simcoe waters but is seldom in evidence except during the winter months when numbers of this fish may be observed beneath the ice and quantities are taken accidentally by winter fishermen.
The burbot is considered to be generally of no commercial or sport value and is regarded by fishermen as an undesirable resident of the lake. However, small numbers of burbot are eaten by a few fishermen who recognize the excellence of this flesh.
The burbot, like the lake trout, seeks the cool deep waters during the warm summer months but at other seasons of the year is widely distributed at all depths. In the winter, numerous burbot are attracted to the sport fishing grounds by the practice of fishermen of pre-baiting for whitefish and are then captured in the greatest quantities by anglers who consider them to be a great nuisance. Numbers of burbot move into the larger river mouths and shallow bays under the ice where they feed extensively after spawning in January.
