State conservation officers cited a group of Colorado fishermen for illegally taking more than 460 pounds of salmon in Northern Michigan, then donated the fish to local families.

State Department of Natural Resources conservation officers were on Manistee River fish patrol near the Tippy Dam when an angler notified them about a group downriver that was “using illegal methods and equipment” to take fish.

Officers Josiah Killingbeck and Scott MacNeill then went to observe the group. They confirmed the angler’s report.

The officers then approached the fishermen and found they did not have valid fishing licenses, were using illegal tackle and had 17 salmon taken by illegal methods.
