(Cedar Rapids, IA) — Iowa Department of Natural Resources Director Kayla Lyon says the laws apply to her just like anyone else.
KCRG TV reports she was caught fishing without a license Friday on the Mississippi River. Lyon will have to pay a fine after requesting that she be cited. The state official says she was paddle fishing at the time when she was told her fishing license wasn’t valid.
Lyon says her combination hunting and fishing license was set to auto-renew on her bank card, but she had recently gotten a new card and forgot to update the system.
