Too many lines and barbed hook |

| Description: |
A Selkirk Officer was conducting a
recreational fishery patrol of Lake
Winnipeg when he had occasion to inspect
the accused.
As the officer on snowmobile approached
a party of 3 anglers, one of the anglers
jumped up off of his sled and began
walking away while slamming the tip of
his rod on the ice. The officer ordered
the angler to stop moving.
The officer checked the lure attached to
the fishing rod and it was barbless.
The officer then counted all the rods in
the water. There were 7 rods actively
fishing or 1 more than allowed for 3
anglers.
The extra rod had a barbed hook attached
to it and belonged to Jim Price of
Portage. Jim Price had two other rods
in the water which explained his
attempts at trying to break off the hook
from one rod as the officer approached.
Jim Price pleaded guilty on March 6,
2009 and received fines of $102 and $52
for a total of $154 for both offences. |
