He also operated a fly-fishing guide service. Respondent received a "cease and desist" letter from the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR) alleging that the fly-fishing guide service was a non-conforming use of the motel property. After significant negotiations with the DNR, a consent decree was entered allowing respondent to continue his services as a fly-fishing guide with no significant changes to his operations, and no fines or penalties.
