Ice fishing on Burntwood Lake

Burntwood Lake is in the Northwest Division of Manitoba's angling regulations. Walleye and sauger are open May 16, 2026 to April 30, 2027, and most other species all year. The 2026 Anglers' Guide has no entry of its own for this water, so the provincial limits and the division rules apply.
