On April 4, 2015 a man attempted to ice fish on Bungee Lake in Woodstock when he fell through the ice but was able to self rescue. He decided to go home, change in to dry clothes and try again. He went back to the same location where he did not have permission to fish and proceeded to fall through the ice again. He was rescued by local fire and State Police Troop D emergency personnel this time. Due to the rescue some of his fishing equipment was left behind. The following morning he decided to try and fish again and also retrieve his gear. Officer Bouthillier received a call regarding the angler and responded to the area. Upon arrival Officer Bouthillier observed the fisherman in a small vessel. The fisherman admitted that he did not have permission to fish the area. He was also fishing with 10 tip-ups and knew he was limited to 6. The suspect was issued and infraction at that time for trespassing and ice fishing with too many tip-ups.
