District 11 - St. Cloud area
CO Caleb Silgjord (Sauk Centre) worked a late-night shift monitoring bowfishers in the Sauk Centre station. While standing a short distance away, Silgjord observed an angler shoot a largemouth bass. The group was also found to be in possession of sunfish that had been taken with archery equipment. The group was surprised to see the game warden, to say the least.
Silgjord spent time working with CO Vang during the past week. They followed up on a dumping complaint and addressed ATV violations in the Little Falls station. Other violations addressed included watercraft-registration issues and navigation lights.

District 9 - Brainerd area
CO Eric Sullivan (Brainerd) Ice conditions on area lakes are deteriorating quickly and anglers are using ATVs for travel. Sullivan worked fishing activity and litter complaints on area lakes. He also investigated deer-hunting violations.
CO Amber Ladd (McGregor) primarily worked late ice anglers. She also investigated a situation where a beaver dam was removed, possibly affecting water levels on an adjacent lake. She also presented a 30-year appreciation award to a volunteer snowmobile safety instructor at the snowmobile club’s meeting this past week. Our instructors volunteer many hours a year to teach youth our safety classes. Their work is greatly appreciated and Ladd was glad to be able to extend that appreciation to the club and the instructors.
