Nice day out on the frozen Lake. My friend and I had to hike down to the lake and break trail through 2 feet of snow. We set up the tent, chairs and heater buddy, and then put the line down. Not even 5 minutes later, we had this nice 4 pound Burbot on the line. My friend reeled slowly while I guided the line and I had a feeling it wasn't hooked very well so once I seen it, I reached down the hole and grabbed it. Brought it out onto the ice, and there was the hook, laying on the ground beside it. Phew! Only one we caught, but it was a nice catch.

Keep on fishing

Despite the diminishing populations of trout and burbot I will keep diligently fishing this lake, I will release a small guideline dictating average trout, whitefish and burbot sizes

Any Luck???

Just wondering if anyone has had any decent luck at this lake lately??

Smallest Fish in Years

Norman is now producing some of the smallest burbot I have ever pulled from the ice. I think its about 5 years too late on changing the limit to 1 a day. Are there even any big ones left?
