Fishing Charges

An enforcement blitz on four lakes near Sioux Lookout resulted in a 92 per cent compliance with only 11 charges and 17 warnings for anglers.

Conservation officers from the Ministry of Natural Resources in Sioux Lookout conducted a two-day enforcement blitz on Minnitaki, Abram, Pelican and Botsford lakes this week.

Officers checked over 300 fisherman.

Charges included possessing fish of a prohibited length, possessing a live sport fish, possessing an over sized bass, and operating a vessel with open alcohol.

Most of the warnings issued to anglers were for failing to carry a fishing license.
