The reward for information leading to the conviction of those responsible for putting an illegal gillnet in the Magalloway River in the northern Oxford County territory was doubled Thursday. Operation Game Thief, working with the Maine Warden Service, is now offering a $2,000 reward. “The additional reward was donated by a concerned citizen in the area.” The Magalloway River is one of Maine’s premier native brook trout fisheries. The gillnet was about 36 feet long and 9 feet deep. Gillnets kill whatever becomes entrapped in them.
