flag Three Maine anglers fined $1,225 each for illegally snagging landlocked salmon during a closed season.

flag Maine game wardens cited three people for illegally catching landlocked salmon in a western Maine river during the fall spawning season using the banned method of snagging. flag They were charged with 11 violations, including fishing during a closed season, exceeding bag limits, and fishing without a license. flag Each paid a $1,225 fine and may lose their fishing license. flag The practice, which causes severe injury and high fish mortality, occurred in a protected spawning area during low water levels, making salmon especially vulnerable.
