From the Banks of the White River

Public stretches of the river offer more fishing opportunities.
Adding to the enjoyment is a scenic backdrop. The fertile limestone geography of the White River Plateau has perfected the habitat for several species. The prolific volume of insects, grasshoppers, and forage fish life produce trout and 26 inches in length and 4 to 7 pounds.
