    Default White river refuge


    Just found out they require a 20 dollar permit to hunt, fish,camp,or launch. Expires yearly at end of July. Might have been ok 25 years ago before the jumping carp took over. Not sure it's worth it now.
    Crappie bite twice a day. 15 minutes before I get there and 10 minutes after I leave.
    The two loudest sounds are a gun that goes bang when it is supposed to go click and one that goes click when it is supposed to go bang.

    Is it just for White River or is it good on all Federal refuges?

    Better get used to it . Been hearing rumors for several years Feds considering charging to use National Forest lands . White River not the only refuge charging fees , Holla Bend has for years. I think the disabled and old folks can buy a Beautiful America Pass and it covers most federal lands and discount on Corps of Engineers camping fees . I would check to make sure .

    Anyone can purchase the America the Beautiful Pass--$80. Good for entrance to (I think) all National Parks, but it does NOT cover the use fee for WRNWR. I purchase the America the Beautiful pass each year and overall it has saved me money.

    They just waited til the horse was out of the barn to start it. 30 years ago fishing was great there. then the carp hit it and fishing has taken a downturn. Guess hunting will be the main source.

    The Refuge is a national treasure. Although l don’t fish it any more because of the carp, paying the $20 user fee wouldn’t bother me.

    If the money goes back into the refuge, I'm all for it.
    Tell'em I'll be there.
