2006 Tributary Stream Enforcement Report For Racine/Kenosha/Milwaukee Counties

This report documents enforcement efforts this past fall on the tributary streams. It is a synopsis of the excellent reports provided by Field Wardens Roberts, Niemeyer, and Sanidas, in the counties of Racine, Kenosha, and Milwaukee. The annual fall salmon and trout migrations continue to be an overwhelming workload for local wardens and I am proud of their dedication and hard work to address citizen complaints of violations associated with the fish run. Wardens issued 219 Citations/Criminal complaints for violations associated with the fall fish run in Racine, Kenosha, and Milwaukee Counties. An increase of almost 30% from 2005.
