Kokeking,
Unless I am mistaken it is illegal to return a Burbot to the water on Flaming Gorge. Also, unless I am mistaken, the Burbot was illegally introduced to the Gorge and the intent of the current regs is to eliminate the Burbot before they have a very negative effect on the "Sports Fisheries". Me, being of a proactive nature, would just as soon decalre "Open War" on the Burbot if it has the potential to destroy the treasure we now have in the way of a Trophy, World Class Fishery on Flaming Gorge. As far as awareness, if you fish the Gorge and you are unaware of the Burbot, then you have not been paying attention.
