District 6 - Two Harbors CO Sean Williams (Ely 1) reports: warm weather combined with rain contributed to snowmobile trail conditions becoming extremely poor and, in some cases, unpassable. Trout angling activity continued to be somewhat active throughout the week and into the weekend. Violations included: angling without a license in possession and failure to remove ice shelter after the deadline.
CO Brent Ihnen (Ely 2) focused primarily on angling activity this week. Officer Ihnen also monitored snowmobile and ATV activity. He also spent time following up on past case work.
CO Thomas Wahlstrom (Grand Marais) worked a snowmobile detail with CO Osborne. The officers checked remote trout lakes and patrolled area snowmobile trails. Enforcement action was taken for loud exhaust, angling with extra lines, live minnows on a designated trout lake and license violations.
