An Indiana Conservation Officer investigated a tip of illegal fishing activity at Cataract Falls in District 5.

The officer found two individuals using a cast net to catch various game fish species. The names of the people involved were not available in this report.

The living fish were released, while the dead fish were donated to two different families that were fishing at Cataract Lake.

Both individuals received a summons to appear in court for fishing with an illegal method, illegal possession, and illegal possession of both undersize bass and walleye.

The largest waterfall by volume in the state, Cataract Falls is part of the Lieber State Recreation Area.
