From $20 to $30 for the annual pass.

5. Upgrade at Alan Bible visitor center

I read about the proposed increase and for as much as I go out in a year I think it is worth it. As long as I can see the added services and amenities I won't have a problem paying more.

They have been doing a great job as far as I'm concerned with our money in the past. They just completed several new fish cleaning stations and upgraded several of the ramps to keep up with the falling waters. I launched out of Callville on Thursday for the first time this year and was very happy to see a new boat ramp and parking area. As long as they keep up with the water dropping we need somewhere to launch. I say increase the fees as long as I can still launch my boat.

Yeah, having the new launch ramp a Callville is great. I am willing to fork out an extra couple bucks a year so the NDOW keeps up on our fisheries. I was really getting tired of the mile long hike after launching at Callville.

An extra $10 for most people and $20 extra for boaters, per year, is pretty reasonable. If it were jumping to $120, I'd probably throw a fit. lol

year 30 for a year is pretty good. i mean floyd lamb is 45 even, and lake mead has alot more to offer. i like flyod lamb but the lake is more bang for your buck. when i first moved to vegas from montana i was dumb and never went out there, thinkin it was a desert and the wate would be gross. but its crystal clear, awesome fishery, and great escape from town. i go all the time and getting my girlfriend out there too. i watch youtube videos and learn new baits and techniques and then head to the lake. i love lake mead and 30 bucks to make it even better is tottally worth it.
