More Charges Laid

Minnesota wildlife officials say 21 more people face fish poaching charges in the biggest such case in the last 20 years.

The cases involve illegal purchase and sale of game fish, mostly walleye, taken from popular fishing lakes such as Cass, Leech, Red and Winnibigoshish lakes on the Red Lake or Leech Lake reservations.

Ten men were indicted last week on federal charges from the same investigation.
