NEW: Tales of the Wild: DNR on the beat


DNR officers

He didn't tell me

While checking anglers on Upper Red Lake, CO Paul Parthun (Blackduck) was invited into a large sleeper house. Three men were inside with two of them playing cards. One of the two playing cards said he was not angling. One angler stated that the house belonged to a friend of his who gave him instructions on the Upper Red Lake Intensive Management Regulations. This angler proudly told the officer the proper slot length and limit for walleye on the lake. CO Parthun observed eight baited lines in the water and asked the angler about them. The angler stated his friend never told him how many lines he could use. The angler said he saw eight holes in the house and figured he should use them all. CO Parthun provided the man with a copy of the fishing synopsis and a citation for angling with extra lines.

You're using what for bait?

CO Dan Malinowski (Fosston) observed a woman catching more fish using lemonade fruit chews for bait versus her mentor using minnows for bait.

"Hank" the entertainer

CO Tim Gray (Bagley) checked a fish house that had an unusual visitor. A weasel moved in and was eating table scraps and mice. Several anglers from neighboring houses watched as "Hank" the weasel entertained them.

I want to "read all about it" in the CO Weekly Report

CO Jim Guida (Nisswa) came across two anglers that had five lines down. When the citation was being issued, one angler asked, "Is this going to be good enough to make the next CO Weekly Report?" If you're reading this you made the cut.
