what makes a good Pout lake?

Is it depth or lake size?

A good Burbot lake has to have rather cool water temps, a good forage base and ample spawning habitat. Ciscoes inhabit most good Burbot waters, and there may be a connection there. Gravelly or rocky streams entering a lake provide optimum spawning habitat. In Minnesota we are on the southern edge of their range.

But, there are things about Burbot that no one can explain. I've seen them caught in tiny warmwater streams in Wisconsin, 50 miles from any water deeper than 5 feet, in the middle of the summer. ~hogsucker
