A fishing trip near Fort Frances has ended up costing a Minnesota man $5,000.
Cody Christensen of International Falls plead guilty in a recent court case to fishing without a licence and failing to comply with a court order.
Ministry of Natural Resources Conservation Officer caught Christensen fishing at Black Sturgeon Bay on Rainy Lake in September 2019 even though he was under an order not to do so.
He had been banned from fishing in Ontario for two years in 2018 for not having a licence.
Because of the latest infraction, the court added an extra year to the previous sentence along with the fine.
