Anglers Found Not Following Rules


An enforcement blitz at a lake along the Canada-U.S border has found several anglers not following the rules.

Ministry of Natural Resources conservation officers laid 20 charges and issued 78 warnings during the four-day blitz in the middle of July at Basswood Lake located within Quetico Provincial Park

Infraction included anglers fishing without a licence, having an over-limit of fish or using barb hooks or live bait, both of which are prohibited in the park.
