Weekly CO report

District 6 - Two Harbors area

CO Sean Williams (Ely #1) reports angling activity slowed again over the week into the weekend. The few anglers seen reported very little success. Violations included angling with no license in possession and a fish house on the ice after the legal deadline.

CO Tom Wahlstrom (Grand Marais) spent a time preparing for upcoming in-service training. Follow up on equipment maintenance was also completed. Wahlstrom also returned calls about snow and ice conditions.

CO Hudson Ledeen (Hovland) reports multiple anglers were checked on area lakes. Most anglers had little to show for their efforts, but some folks hit pay dirt and landed some quality trout. Lake travel remains good and likely will hold up nicely for the remainder of the trout season. Enforcement action was taken for various violations.

CO Anthony Bermel (Babbitt) reports lots of people were out chasing crappies, with some success noted. Enforcement action for the week included fishing with an extra line, litter, driving a vehicle on a prohibited trail, and failure to display ATV registration.

CO Megan Franzen (Silver Bay) spent the week monitoring angling activity around the area. Time was also spent attending waterfowl training near Winona. Ice anglers were reporting varied success throughout the week.

CO Trent Anderson (Tofte) focused on ice fishing enforcement for the week. Anglers enjoyed easy walking conditions on area lakes. Violations encountered included various angling violations.

CO Don Murray (Two Harbors) worked angling and ATV activity during the week. Most lakes still were holding good ice, but conditions can change quickly with the shallow areas and shorelines opening first. Spring closures have started on some forest roads and trails in the area. North Shore streams started flowing this week with areas opening and becoming ice free. Murray also worked on seasonal equipment maintenance.
