American Anglers Fined for illegal Ice Fishing on Lake of the Woods

An ice fishing trip on Lake of the Woods has ended up costing two American men a good chunk of money.

The Minnestoa residents were stopped by Conservation Officers on Mica Point last March.

Robert Cook has been fined 14-hundred dollars for having 7-walleye over the legal limit and 800-dollars for having 4-walleye over the limit on a separate day.

Glenn Ostlund has been ordered to pay 1-grand for fishing without a licence and having 4-walleye in his possession.

Both men were also fined 500-dollars each for importing live minnows into Ontario for bait.
