Fishing Guide Slapped With Hefty Fine

A costly mistake for an area fishing guide.
Ron Lemmon of Bergland has been fined $4,000 for illegally selling walleye and venison.
Court heard that Lemmon guided two anglers on a fishing trip on Lake of the Woods and he encouraged them to take more than the legal limit of walleye and at the end of the trip sold them.
He has also received a 2-year fishing suspension.
The charges followed a two year investigation.
