A fishing trip on Lake of the Woods has ended up costing a Minnesota man.
William Nielsen has been fined $1,500 for illegally bringing live baitfish into Ontario.
Canada Border Services inspected a vehicle at the Rainy River port of entry back in April and officers located seven dozen live baitfish located in a hidden compartment of the car.
The public is reminded that importing live organisms can threaten the ecosystem by introducing invasive species.
