Fishing for Trouble A Hemphill County game warden and an Ochiltree County game warden observed a group of nine people in a remote section of Palo Duro Lake, upstream from the main lake in an area that is rarely used recreationally. Undetected, the two wardens approached the group on foot and saw various actions associated with possible illegal fishing activity. After watching the group for a while, the wardens split up and approached the group from opposite directions. When the wardens announced their presence, the group scattered and the wardens saw that one of the men was carrying a scoped black rifle. After several tense moments, the wardens were able to talk to the man and got him to put down the rifle. When the group was rounded back up, nine individuals from Oklahoma were found to be in possession of various types of fish, including 24 undersize crappie and 5 undersize channel cats. These were removed, measured, photographed and released.
