Illegal Netting on the Sac River in Cedar County

ILLEGAL NETTING: Conservation Agent Tyler Green recently received a call from a citizen regarding a person using a throw net to catch and keep crappie on the Sac River in Cedar County. Using nets to catch crappie and other game fish is illegal. 

Agent Green found the illegal netter, who admitted catching 23 crappie with the net. The illegal netter got a citation and the live fish were released back into the river after the pic was taken for evidence.
