Trespassing charges laid due to "unsafe" ice fishing
Two people have been charged with trespassing after they tried to ice fish on Guelph Lake during what police are calling “unsafe ice conditions.”
On March 8 at about 8:30am Wellington County OPP received a call regarding two people on the lake.
“Police responded and were able to get the attention of the fishermen,” police stated in a press release.
“They walked to the shore and two males were charged with trespassing since ice fishing is not permitted on Guelph Lake.”
The Guelph and Guelph-Eramosa fire departments were also called to the lake in case they had to perform a rescue.
