At approximately 10:00 p.m. yesterday, EnCon Police received an anonymous complaint of four anglers fishing in the Housatonic River in Shelton off of River Road, who were in possession of large quantity of undersized striped bass.
EnCon officers responded, located the anglers, and with the help of their trained dog discovered 38 striped bass that were hidden in bags in the rocks and bushes. The EnCon dog is specially trained to detect a variety of species of fish to assist in situations like this. All fish were less than the minimum legal length. (Daily limit is one fish and legal length is 28 inches.)
The charges against the four men are misdemeanors with a court date of 4/12/2016 in Derby.
