RALEIGH, N.C. (March 13, 2008) – The N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission has closed the Bells Church Public Fishing Area (PFA), starting today through April 1.

Commission personnel closed the public fishing area, which is located on Jordan Lake in Chatham County, so nighttime fishing lights can be installed on the pier. An electric company is digging trenches to install underground cables, creating a potential safety hazard.

The Commission will re-open the PFA when the lights are installed, the ground is leveled and the site deemed safe for the public again.
