Fish that are not in the regulations

[Billy2017]

I was out thurs on Hanmore lake (just north of Smokey Lake) and caught a burbot. There is nothing said in the regs about burbot limits and further more I can't find anywhere if there are even suppose to be burbot in the lake. Any thoughts?

Check the general regs at the beginning of the regs section for each zone (e.g. NB2). Should be something there about limits that apply to waters or species not appearing in the waterbody-specific list that follows.

Other lakes like Pine Coulee in the south have burbot and they are not listed in the regs.

There are also some res. that have walley that are also not listed. If that is the case then the regs from surrounding lakes becomes the norm. In the case of Pine Coulee the burbot limit is 10 as it is in other res. near by.

So your limit would be based on burbot limits in nearby lakes.

Hope this helps

No, thats not accurate. Nearby lakes have nothing to do with it lol. A second look through the regulations will answer the question.
