Surveys of sport-ice fisheries on 5 lakes in the vicinity of Prince George (Saxton (01410STUR), Nukko (01254LSAL), Eaglet (00033WILL), Cluculz(01091NECR), and Norman (00587LCHL) lakes) were undertaken from January-April 2007. Biological and life history information was collected from a total of 54 burbot during the study.

The intent of this work was to gather information on fishery effort and catch, and sample angler's catches to ascertain information regarding lake-specific burbot population health and life history characteristics. Monitoring of ice fisheries consisted of roving surveys of each lake on an alternating schedule encompassing morning and afternoon periods and weekends and weekdays. Anglers encountered were interviewed as to their fishing method, the duration of their angling activity, species being targeted and their catch. A total of 16, 23, 30, 28 and 29 surveys-visits to each lake's ice fishery were completed, resulting in 61, 103, 168, 93 and 120 hourly angler counts on each of Saxton, Nukko, Eaglet, Norman and Cluculz lakes, respectively. Biological and life history information was collected from a total of 54 burbot during the study. While the sample size is small, population status assessment techniques indicate that all populations continue to recruit juvenile burbot, and that increased exploitation is evident in Cluculz and Eaglet lakes, relative to Norman Lake.
