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.
