We had this very same discussion back in 2008, on a Crappie fishing website that I'm a member of ... and even people that didn't, or never would fish Herrington, were outraged at the launch ramp fee hike.

Thanks, CPappy. I'm going to visit a few around here and see if I can't do a yearly thing with one of them. I've got at least 3 that I know of in rock throwing distance.

Don't know how many CrappiePappys are around the interwebs in KY but I think I recently ogled some old pics of one of your crappie fishing excursions. IIRC, it was in the Wilmore area somewhere...maybe the river. Wherever it was, you & the wife/partner had plenty of fish to clean. My freezer's bout empty so I'm gonna have to get busy.
