• CO Taylor Hochstein (Hill City) followed up on several complaints involving snowmobile riders. The trails remain in good shape, with the fresh layer of snow that fell this past week. Fishing success varies from lake to lake, but anglers seemed happy with the warmer weather and were able to comfortably move around outside of the fish house.
• CO Tony Flerlage (Crosby) attended the Deerwood Outdoor and Gun Show and talked with many attendees outside the TIP Wall of Shame trailer. He checked anglers, finding good ice conditions and less reliable panfish bites. Snowmobile trails are in good condition in the area and are seeing high use on the weekends.
• CO Gregory Verkuilen (Garrison) checked snowmobile activity and found good trail conditions were bringing in a lot of non-resident riders. Registration and a lack of trail stickers were addressed. Most ice houses had been brought off the lakes, while perch and crappie anglers reported increased success.
• CO Nate Benkofske (McGregor) checked anglers and snowmobile riders on area lakes. Enforcement action was taken for illegal-length walleyes, angling without licenses, extra lines, unattended lines and expired snowmobile registration. Calls of illegal snowmobiling were investigated.
• CO Ashley Whiteoak (Aitkin) spent time patrolling ice angling, snowmobiling and trapping activity. She also spent time at McGregor School’s Fishing Day, where kids were able to fish, roast marshmallows and play games. The area snowmobile trails have been in good condition.
