PMRF closes fishing area
The Pacific Missile Range Facility on the Westside will conduct flight operations today prompting the closure of the Special Use Fishing area.
Fishing in the Special Use Fishing Area, from Kawaiele Ditch northwards to the southern-most windsock adjacent to the runway, is scheduled to reopen to the public at approximately 3 p.m.
Since re-opening of the special use area is dependent upon the flight operations, an exact time is not available.
