Five anglers from Manitoba have been ordered to pay following a fishing trip on Shoal Lake in the Kenora area.
The lake is closed to all commercial and recreational walleye fishing and last June conservation officers spotted the group on the water.
An investigation found a total of 11 walleye had been caught and retained.
Four people didn’t even have a fishing licence.
Brody Leathwood and Richard Maxwell of Stony Mountain were both fined $1,800 for catching and retaining fish during closed time, and $200 for fishing without a licence.
Curtis Maxwell and Wendy Maxwell of Stony Mountain were both fined $200 for fishing without a licence.
Curtis Maxwell and Michael Wasnie of Selkirk were also fined $400 each for angling during for fish during closed time.
