[quote MACMAN]Why has it not been addressed to add small lake trout to the list of legally disposed fish?... I’ll catch a couple dozen this year and if that law isn’t changed, they will all swim away.
... I’m not convinced it’s that bad.

You aren't convinced it's that bad, and yet you'd be willing to dispose the fish if the law was changed?
You have to remember that the burbot are considered an invasive nuisance species. So allowing the legal disposal of them is considerably different than trying to manage your #1 sport fish in a fishery.
Just educating people on the importance of harvest, any harvest, would do some good. I don't believe any drastic measures (ie: no limits, legal disposal, etc...) are necessary. Just educate people on how to catch them, and then allow them to keep what they catch. It's not rocket science.
