Burbot Anglers, Michigan Tech Wants to Hear from You!

Researchers at Michigan Technological University are partnering with the Department of Natural Resources Fisheries Division to conduct a survey and interviews to gain information about angler awareness, values, and preferences for recreational burbot fishing within the Lake Superior basin. This information can help fisheries managers balance sustainable harvest and angler satisfaction.

The Lake Superior basin in Michigan includes parts of Gogebic, Ontonagon, Houghton, Keweenaw, Iron, Baraga, Marquette, Alger, Luce, and Chippewa counties (see image, right). If you fish for burbot in the Lake Superior basin, you are invited to participate in the survey or sign up for an interview with the research team.
