Holiday Island fishing pier dedicated - FishNews - 06-09-2007
HOLIDAY ISLAND - A portion of an old, outdated highway bridge at HolidayIsland got a new lease on life recently. The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission used a portion of the decommissioned bridge to build fishing piers on TableRockLake in CarrollCounty.
A new bridge was built near the old structure. The older bridge had its center span removed which left two ends that worked ideally as piers for a handicapped accessible fishing spot.
The Holiday Island Improvement District asked the AGFC to consider utilizing the old bridge as a fishing pier. State Sen. Randy Laverty secured $10,000 in state grants to help with the project. The project started earlier this year and was completed in March at a cost of just over $29,000.
The Holiday Island Fun Fishermen also added brush and Christmas trees around the pier to help improve the fish habitat.
