Weekly CO report

District 18 - Rochester area

CO Derek Schneider (Zumbrota) focused on ATV enforcement. Youth operators were found traveling on roadways without helmets and ATV safety certificates. Some anglers checked this week didn't have fishing licenses and were using extra lines. Wildlife-related complaints were handled.

CO Tyler Ramaker (La Crescent) responded to urban-wildlife calls involving deer and rattlesnakes. With water levels rapidly decreasing on the Mississippi River, boaters and anglers are back out in force. However, some river users forgot some of the basics. Among the things forgotten were life jackets, fishing licenses, and how to measure 15-inch walleyes.

CO Joel Heyn (Plainview) worked anglers during the week. With the river coming down more folks were able to get out and enjoy the water. Heyn also did follow up on complaints and answered questions about the upcoming hunting seasons.

CO Annette Kyllo (Rochester #1) spent most of her time this week working on a pre-hire background investigation. Time was also spent checking anglers and fielding various questions from the public.

Winona vacant.
