Illegal snagging of fish remains an issue on Michigan rivers
Published: , in Outdoor News
In the latter half of September, conservation officers in southwest Michigan issued more than a half dozen tickets to anglers for foul-hooking or snagging salmon, or trying to net the fish.
The tickets stemmed from patrols of conservation officers in the Department of Natural Resources Law Enforcement’s District 7, and it was a similar situation in District 4.
“CO Zack Walters and Sgt. Dan Bigger were patrolling the Platte River and observed three adults and two children fishing,” according to DNR reports. “The adults were targeting coho and attempting to snag each fish they saw with their headlamps.”
