A Lethbridge fish and wildlife patrol on September 13, to monitor fishery compliance, found several anglers with violations, including sportfishing in closed waters and unlawful possession of fish.

The patrol was at McGregor Lake and Travers Reservoir in the Vulcan District, where both water bodies have zero limits for walleye and northern pike. These limits, as well as a partial closure at Travers Reservoir, are in place to protect and conserve the vulnerable fish population.
