FISHING BAN
PROTEST
WHERE: Fort Atkinson (at the River Walk from pedestrian bridge east to Legion Dugout).
WHEN: Saturday, June 7, 2008. 10:00 a.m.
WHY: The city council voted to ban fishing on public funded land even though the public was greatly opposed.
Note: Fishing in the area of the protest may subject the individual to a fine of $10.00 to $25.00. The demonstration is intended to be peaceful and orderly.
The non-profit Rock River-Koshkonong Association (RRKA)* is starting a Legal Fund. The fund will be used to hire a law firm to research the legality of the fishing ban. Donations are welcome. Send donation to:
