About White River
The White River in Ashland County, far northern Wisconsin, is a cold spring-fed Lake Superior tributary with strong populations of wild brook trout — the primary species — plus brown trout. The river flows through Bayfield County's Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest and offers genuine wilderness fishing close to Lake Superior. Less crowded than the Bois Brule but every bit as scenic.
Regulations
Wisconsin Fishing License required ($20 resident + $10 trout/salmon stamp = $30). Season opens first Saturday in May. Verify Ashland/Bayfield County special-regulation sections in current Wisconsin DNR trout regulations.
