Detroit River Fisherman Gets Ban

A Markham man has been fined and issued a fishing ban after repeatedly angling without a licence.

A Southern Marine Enforcement Conservation Officer caught Wu Wang fishing at the Detroit River in Windsor without a licence back on May 23, 2015.

Through investigation, officials learned that when Wang had been caught, he was also under a fishing ban related to previous convictions in 2014.

Wang has been convicted and issued a $1,000 fine. He's also banned from having fishing equipment within 50m of any body of water for the next five years.
