Weekly CO report

District 17 - Albert Lea area

CO Tyler Lusignan (Faribault) reports checking local lakes, public lands and working ATV enforcement. Anglers are having good success. Multiple ATV violations were detected and enforced.

CO Meng Moua (Spring Valley) focused on fishing, turkey hunting, and ATV activities. The trout streams are flowing faster than previous weeks with the recent rain events. Turkeys continue to be active, with many turkeys seen strutting in fields. ATV owners and operators are reminded to take the online ATV safety training (ATVcourse.com), to ensure they are educated in ATV operations, rules, and regulations.

CO Jeremy Henke (Albert Lea) worked anglers and boaters this week. The spring panfish bite has yet to start in the area though many anglers have been out trying their luck! Henke reminds anyone who locates young of the year wildlife to leave them alone. The mother is more than likely taking care of the animal and human involvement will not help the situation.

CO Nicholas Ambroz (Waseca) focused on angling and turkey hunting activity. Ambroz also worked bow fishing and trapping.

CO Chad Davis (Owatonna) checked turkey hunters, anglers, watercraft, and ATV operators. Davis patrolled aquatic management areas, wildlife management areas, state parks, waterfowl production areas, and responded to calls.

CO Jamie VanThuyne (Mankato) focused on fishing and recreational vehicle activities. VanThuyne also assisted other agencies and responded to complaints.

St. Peter vacant.

Mankato #1 vacant.
