On both the Wyoming and Utah ends of the lake, there is a catch and kill law. You cannot release any live burbot, period. They seem to like the shallower inflow end, which is Wyoming. I've never caught one. Cleverly disguised as a responsible adult.

Hooked this guy last Sunday night at 11:05, on the ice at 11:22, 43 inches, 20.4 pounds, was a brutal 6# test trial! We are bears for punishment, heading out again tonight. Ted
