Illegal fish catch on Lake Nipissing results in $1,800 fine

A Sudbury man almost got away with catching six under-sized walleye in Lake Nipissing.  Jeffrey Peterson was ice fishing on the lake last February when he was stopped by a Conservation Officer.  Peterson showed the officer his perch and pike which were legal catches.  But when the officer looked deeper he found six small walleye which fell into the prohibitive category.  A judge fined Peterson $300 for each of the fish which came out to $1,800.  Peterson is also barred from fishing for one year.
