St. Marys Res.
I caught the Raley Hutterite Colony with illegal nets thru the ice, it was after a snow storm and most roads where snowed in, they the Raley colony figured they where safe to set the nets it was mid January, I saw the nets and immeditaly left the lake and phoned Fish and Wildlife, met officer at a spot away from the colony and rode with the warden back to the illegal nets,.
To make a long story short, the colony was found guilty of netting out of season and fined, i did not have to go to court, but i did speak to the fish and game officer after the court case and was told the colony had received a big fine, i replyed by asking if they the hutterite colony had also lost there commercial netters lic. the fish and wildlife officer said no, and said the judge did not even ask if they had one, they do have a netters lic.
