Yup get them in may and july
burbot prefer cooler waters much like lake trout, but can be caught year-round on lake manitoba, lake winnipeg and other spots as well. numerous anglers still consider them garbage fish, but it is slowly catching on not only as a good eating, but a good scapping one as well. currently no limit on these fish in manitoba...but just like channel cats a number of years back; once it caught on, they went to limits, and finally slot limits to keep the fishery healthy..grump
