Manitoba Man fined for illegal fishing on Winnipeg River

A Manitoba man faces 23 hundred dollars in fines for fishing illegally on the Winnipeg River north of Kenora.

Vincent Wiebe of Lake Frances has been fined for fishing without a licence and tresspassing.

Court heard last week that Wiebe had been fishing near the Caribou Falls Generating Station this past May.

He had caught seven walleye while on Ontario Generation property.

He had been fishing in an area that had been posted with the sign "Danger-no tresspassing".
