The BEST way to get an annual pass is to approach ANY corps ranger in the field. He/she will sell you one for a mere $30.00. They do it right there on the spot. This allows you unlimited launches at any corps ramp for a year from the date of purchase.

Before you purchase a pass, look to see if there are any Game and Fish Ramps in the area you fish. Many times the Corps will work with G&F folks and allow them to take over or even build their own ramps (to corps specks) for public convenience. In Arkansas, the G&F do not charge for launches at THEIR ramps.

In several cases, there is a corps ramp and a G&F ramp within a couple hundred yards of each other. This helps with overflow situations when the dreaded 'tournament' comes to town.

$30.00 bucks; any corps ranger-any time. If you're over 65 and have a Golden Age Passport or its equivalent, you will get it for $15.00--That's no money in cotton country!
