Anglers Charged In MNR Enforcement Blitz

Several anglers are paying the price for violating Ontario's fishing regulations.

Seventy charges and 150 warnings were issued by Ministry of Natural Resources conservation officers during an enforcement blitz on Rainy River during the first part of April.

Many of the charges related to fishing without a licence, possessing walleye over a prohibited length and importing live bait from Minnesota into Ontario.
