Water Skiing At Lake Louise

This water skiier was great entertainment at the LAKE this weekend. I took a video of him taking off water skiing but it didn't turn out too well. Another friend there took 3 takeoffs with a real video camera and when he uploads them to YouTube I'll let you know. You can see mine here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNn0Tu_17p0.

We had a great time at Lake Louise despite the weather and bugs. The water skiier took this picture of Tanner and I on the LAKE.



Here is the same water skier trying to splash us in the paddleboat.

Lake Louise Burbot

Mr. FishTaxi cooked up the Burbot he caught at Lake Louise last 4th of July. Burbot is a freshwater Ling Cod.

Like its saltwater relatives the Burbot has a mild tasting white meat.

The Burbot (Lota lota) is often considered too ugly to be worth an anglers time.

In some circles the Burbot is considered the poor man's lobster when boiled and dipped in butter. We went for a variation of the Deep Fat Fried Burbot in beer batter.

According to FishAlaska magazine the record holder Burbot in Alaska was at Lake Louise caught by George Howard, a 24 pounds - 12 ouncer, in 1976.

For a homely fish it sure was good eating, while remembering what fun we had at Lake Louise last summer, on a cold winters day.
