- CO Mitch Lawler caught an angler using two poles to fish for sunfish from a pontoon. Enforcement action was taken.
- CO Angela Londgren (Cambridge) cited a hunter for hunting over bait.
In the west Metro area, CO Chelsie Leuthardt followed up on wetland violations and walked her wildlife management areas leading up to bow season.
