CO Sean Williams (Ely #1) reports that for the first time in several weeks angling activity was again high as snowmobile use dwindled. Success for trout was stereotypically spotty but generally good. Violations included taking fish in closed season, angling with no license, and angling with no license in possession.

CO Brent Ihnen (Ely #2) checked anglers and snowmobile riders this week. Ihnen also patrolled his station monitoring ice shelter and litter compliance on area lakes. Additional time was spent working on previous case work.

CO Thomas Wahlstrom (Grand Marais) spent the week patrolling on his snowmobile. Remote trout lakes were checked, and time was spent checking anglers along the U.S./Canada border. Enforcement action was taken for angling and snowmobile violations.

CO Hudson Ledeen (Hovland) reports the recent snow has helped extend the snowmobiling season. Trout fishing is starting to improve as the days continue to get longer. Enforcement action was taken for varying violations.

CO Anthony Bermel (Babbitt) attended a Bear Committee meeting and worked on items related to that. Online training was completed, as was equipment repairs and maintenance. Additional time was spent working snowmobile and angling enforcement. Enforcement action was taken for loud exhaust, no snowmobile safety training, and no ski pass.

CO Megan Franzen (Silver Bay) spent the week monitoring snowmobile and ice angling activity throughout the area. Time was also spent attending multiple snowmobile safety classes put on within the Northeast Region. Enforcement action was taken for various angling violations.

CO Trent Anderson (Tofte) focused on ice fishing and snowmobile enforcement for the week. Area trails are deteriorating quickly with the warmer weather. Anglers are reminded to renew their fishing licenses.
