Expect Fishing Traffic Delays

State Patrol Sergent Curt Mowers is urging patience this weekend during the walleye fishing opener.  He tells KLKS News, roads like 169 past Mille Lacs Lake can prove challenging.  He says it is difficult to pull into traffic when it's bumper-to-bumper.

Sergent Mowers is also recommending motorists check the boat trailer make sure its fit to make the trip.  He says if there is trouble with the trailer, be sure to pull it all the way off the road so that it does not become a traffic hazard.
