Bear this in mind when building near a shoreline. Top Quote

Ironically if the water is se from the desired fisher it is best to go a flag inland so as to avoid blocking the nearest coastline. There might be a fish resource there. I suppose it is a technical problem or limitation because it doesn't make sense they can't fish off a road or bridge. But that's the way it is. -- To Boldly Go Where No Man Has Gone Before Top Quote

This seems to be mentioned in a campaign (according to the forum discussion). No idea in which one. Would maybe still be worth to mention it in the help texts of the buildings.
