Overview
- Conservation officers seized 34 walleye beyond the allowed catch from a group fishing the Detroit River.
- Officers first observed the anglers near Milliken State Park and later used a search warrant to inspect their catch.
- State rules allow six walleye per person per day on the river, which set the five-person group’s cap at 30 fish.
- The anglers kept the legal allotment and received misdemeanor citations for the extra fish, according to the DNR.
- A DNR law enforcement official called the river a world-class walleye fishery and said daily limits sustain its health.
