Lawmen Ready for Big Weekend Influx

Excellent fishing prospects and mild weather are expected to bring a lot of folks into the Brainerd Lakes Area this weekend for the walleye fishing opener.

Sergeant Curt Mowers of the Minnesota State Patrol tells KLKS News, law enforcement will be fully staffed for the big influx of motorists. He is urging patience and will be watching for speeders.

Mowers says, they will be looking for motorists who are following too closely, and passing illegally.

He says he wants people to enjoy the lakes, but also wants them to arrive and return home safely.
