Bemidji Pioneer: Minnesotan fined $1,500 for smuggling leeches into Ontario

Two Minnesota anglers learned the hard way that Ontario doesn't mess around when it comes to fish and game law violations and big fines.

Russell R. Sikkila Jr. of Chisholm was fined $800 (Canadian dollars) for trying to sneak a dozen leeches into Sand Point Lake, while Carl W. Brandt of Forest Lake was fined $1,500 for hiding bags of leeches in a worm cooler as he crossed the border at Fort Frances.
