Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry Officers were patrolling the Ganaraska River in Port Hope on Saturday, September 29, 2018.
This is the last weekend for salmon fishing and a number of anglers were taking advantage of the weather along the river.
On Saturday, MNRF officers charged a number of people with fishing violations. At least two people had their equipment and fish seized and were charged accordingly.
With the number of salmon along the river, a number of anglers accidentally hooked the fish. Where Today’s Northumberland was viewing the anglers, the fish that were hooked improperly were returned to the river.
