New Angles Proposed for Recreational Fishing
St. Tammany Parish Government is supporting two proposals, submitted to the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development for a deadline today, to improve fishing in St. Tammany Parish. If either or both proposals are approved, fish could be reeling in within two years.

We can transform this small section of the remaining bridge into a fishing haven for citizens who want to spend a leisurely morning fishing for speckled trout or flounder, or just visiting with friends.”
“This is a great project. It will enhance the quality of life for our citizens, increase tourism, and be ecologically sound,” Davis continued. “While we will have to build an access road, and perhaps charge a small fee to...
