Fishing guide found guilty for crimes related to his paid angling endeavors
In 2016, Swann, proprietor of Swanny’s Guided Fishing, pleaded guilty to one count of violating the endangered species act, and was fined $7,500. That guilty plea came after Swann was accused of illegally harvesting two wild coho salmon on the Cowlitz River while he was out on a paid guide trip. After video and photos of the fish in question surfaced on the internet, Swann was accused of cutting off the adipose fins of the fish in order to make them appear as if they were clipped hatchery stock, which is legal for harvest.
