(Bob Hague, WRN) The 2022 tribal fishing season gets underway soon.

Ojibwe tribal members have treaty protected rights to fish in certain Wisconsin waterways, and anyone who interferes with that could face legal consequences.

Department of Natural Resources Secretary Preston Cole said the agency has “zero-tolerance” for harassment of tribal members exercising their rights to harvest fish using various methods, including spearing and netting.

Attorney General Josh Kaul said any attempt to interfere with treaty fishing is illegal and should be reported to local law enforcement and the Great Lakes Indian Fish and Wildlife Commission (GLIFWC).
