A few of us are old enough to have memories of this iteration of the Illinois River swinging bridge. Fishermen would lean against sides and drop their lines into the deep pool below. They were after the giant fall chinook holding in the clear water, waiting for rains to bring the river up high enough for them to make it over the falls upstream of the bridge.
