Saw the following on a gamefishing forum just now - a Burbot may or may not have been sighted on the River Ribble (source: the "Hook, Line and Sinker" magazine for members of the Prince Albert Angling Society). Someone pass this intelligence on to Chris Yates, please.

Yes it was posted on the Albert web-site. Few people responded to it. It was more likely a small cod had swam upstream from the Irish Sea than yer actual Burbot!!

It was being chased by Elvis, egged on by a little green man.

I should imagine there's more likelihood of it being a catfish. There was one caught in a match on the Ure last week with another lost.

Too late, there's at least one been in there for some years already.

It looks like there are people out there stocking the catfish whether we like it or not................
