I found this in the Stillwater Gazette, Wednesday, 16 June Issue:
In other business, the council . . .
– heard about a plan to put signs on the Stillwater Lift Bridge that say “No Fishing”. Fishermen have been tossing lines off the bridge, causing many boaters to complain about hooks flying down while they are passing beneath the structure.
The Minnesota Department of Transportation had signs up in the past, but took them down when the bridge was repainted. The department will be putting signs back up this month.
I thought I would pass this along to any shore fishermen that wanted to fish off the Stillwater bridge.
