Anglersmust stop snagging once the daily creel limitof paddlefish is reached. Paddlefish caught outside the paddlefishseason or in non-snagging areas may bekept if they are hooked in the mouth. Nonsport fish (carp, drum, grass carp,threadfin and gizzard shad, goldfish, gar,suckers including carpsucker and buffalo,goldeye, and bowfin) may also be snaggedin waters posted open to snagging during thepaddlefish season. There are no limits onnonsport fish.

SPEARFISHING Unless otherwise posted, spearguns, with-out explosive charge, may be used to takenonsport fish in waters posted “open toscuba and skin diving.” Spears must beattached to speargun or person by a line.

STATE FISHING LAKES Motorboats may be used on state fishinglakes for fishing and hunting only, unlessotherwise posted. Wading and tube floatingin state lakes is legal as part of fishing, hunt-ing, bullfrogging, and trapping.

POSSESSION/WANTON WASTE

All fish taken shall have the head, body,and tail fin attached while in possession onthe water. Sport fish taken must be kept untilconsumed, processed, taken home or givento another person, or released.

Private water fishing impoundment: One ormore water impoundments: 1) constructed byman rather than natural, located wholly withinthe boundary of the lands owned or leased bythe person operating the private waterimpoundments; and 2) entirely isolated fromother surface water so that the impoundmentdoes not have any connection either continu-ously or at intervals, except during periods offloods, with streams or other bodies of waterso as to permit the fish to move betweenstreams or other bodies of water and the pri-vate water impoundments, except that the pri-vate water impoundments may be connectedwith a stream or other body of water by a pipeor conduit if fish will be prevented at all timesfrom moving between streams or other bodiesof water and the private water impoundmentby screening the flow or by other means.

LENGTH LIMITS DEFINED Minimum length limits mean that fish short-er than a certain length cannot be kept. If theminimum length limit for bass is 15 inches, allbass shorter than 15 inches must be releasedimmediately. A slot-length limit prevents anglers fromkeeping fish within a certain size range. Forexample, if the slot length limit for bass is 13-18inches, bass between 13 and 18 inches longmust be returned to the water. All fish caught that do not meet length limitrequirements must be returned to the waterimmediately, unrestricted. To determine fishlength, measure from the tip of its snout, withits mouth closed, to end of the tail, lobespressed together.

GENERAL INFORMATION

TROUT

FISHING ON THE MISSOURI RIVER In agreement with the Missouri Department of Conservation, the Kansas Department of Wildlife,Parks and Tourism has established special rules regarding that portion of the Missouri River that bor-ders both Kansas and Missouri. All fish caught from the Missouri River Boundary Waters that are asize or number that is illegal to possess shall be released unrestricted to the water immediately.Aquatic Nuisance Species (ANS) Alert – Asian carp, zebra mussels, and white perch.

License Requirements: Anglers with either a valid Kansas or Missouri fishing licensemay fish any flowing portion and backwaters of the Missouri River and any oxbow lakethrough which the river flows. They may fish from and attach any legal fishing equip-ment to the land adjoining these waters.

Limitations: Tributaries of the Missouri may not be fished without a valid fishing license fromthe state through which the tributary flows. If any law or regulation governing fishing in theMissouri River is different from the corresponding law or regulation in the state for which theangler has a license, the more restrictive state’s law or regulation will apply. Each angler mustkeep all legally caught fish restrained separately from any other angler. Bow and arrow orcrossbow with a barbed head and a line attached are legal only from sunrise to midnight.Each angler may use three fishing lines. In addition, each angler may use one trotline with nomore than 25 hooks OR eight setlines with no more than two hooks each, OR eight floatlines.

From Nov. 1-April 15, Type 1 waters (see below) stocked with trout require a $14.50 troutpermit (see “Limit” below) for fishing. Type 2 waters require a trout permit only for anglers fish-ing for or possessing trout. When required, all anglers 16 older must have a trout permit.Anglers 15 and younger may fish for trout without a permit if they adhere to a 2-trout per daylimit. In addition, all residents age 16-74 and non-residents 16 and older must also have a validfishing license. Trout permits are available at KDWPT offices, most county clerk offices, licensevendors, or online at ksoutdoors.com.

THE PERMIT IS VALID FOR THE CURRENT CALENDAR YEAR. Some local governments may have their own trout stocking programs. Many of these requirea fee but not the state permit. Local city and county recreation departments have details. Approximate trout stocking dates and sites may be found online at ksoutdoors.com.

LIMIT: The daily creel limit is 5 trout unless otherwise posted. Anglers 15 or younger may fishwithout a permit but are limited to 2 trout per day OR they may purchase a permit and take 5trout per day. The possession limit is three times the daily creel.

PERMIT REQUIRED: Nov. 1-April 15, except trout fishing at Mined Land Wildlife Area Unit #30(Cherokee County) requires a trout permit year-round.

FISHING REPORTS, FISHING BLOG

The Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parksand Tourism (KDWPT) has provided fishingreports to anglers for more than 25 years.What started as a weekly mailing hasevolved into electronic reports posted on theagency's website. While this technologymakes it possible for agency staff to updatereports at any time, it has also led to greaterpublic expectations. In an effort to improve the accuracy of fish-ing reports, KDWPT has developed a link onthe "Fishing Reports" page of its websitecalled "Public Fishing Reports." By clicking onthis link, anglers can sign onto a web log (blog)and let other anglers know about their fishingexperiences at different waters in the state.The general public, marina operators, baitstore owners, fishing guides, and others canmake their reports available through this medi-um, providing additional information to whatKDWPT field staff have collected and posted. To participate, go to ksoutdoors.com. Click"Fishing," then "Fishing Reports," and then"Public Fishing Reports." Scroll down to findthe appropriate region of the state on which toreport or view comments.

DISTRICT FISHERIES NEWSLETTERS You can learn even more about fishingopportunities by reading the district fisheriesnewsletters. Fisheries biologists publish sea-sonal newsletters about the lakes they man-age, providing information about samplingresults, new projects, stocking data andmore. Go to www.ksoutdoors.com, click onthe “Fishing” link at the top to the page, thenclick on the “Newsletter Request Forms” inthe Fishing Quick Links box on the right-hand side of the page.

GENERAL INFORMATION

The Kansas Department of Health andEnvironment (KDHE) and the Kansas Departmentof Wildlife, Parks and Tourism (KDWPT) are issu-ing revised fish consumption advisories for 2016.The advisories identify types of fish or other aquat-ic animals that should be eaten in limited quantitiesor, in some cases, avoided altogether because ofcontamination. General advice and internetresources are also provided to aid the public inmaking informed decisions regarding the benefitsas well as the risks associated with eating locallycaught fish from Kansas waters.

DEFINITIONSBottom-feeding fish: buffalo, carp, carpsuck-ers, catfish (except flathead catfish), sturgeons,and suckers.

Predatory fish: black bass, crappie, drum, flat-head catfish, perch, sunfish, white bass, wiper,striper, walleye, saugeye, and sauger.

Shellfish: mussels, clams, and crayfish.

General Population: Men and women 18years of age or older.

Sensitive Populations: Women who are preg-nant, may become pregnant, or are nursing andchildren age 17 or younger.

Meal size (before cooking): Adults and childrenage 13 and older = 8 ounces; children age 6 to 12= 4 ounces; children younger than 6 = 2 ounces

Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs),Perchlorate, Mercury, Lead and Cadmium:Toxic chemicals and heavy metals that poseserious health risks, particularly to fetuses andchildren. Developmental and neurological prob-lems are some of the risks related to prolongedor repeated exposure.

General advice for eating locally caught fish in Kansas

(1) Sensitive populations should considerrestricting their total mercury intake as related toboth supermarket fish and locally caughtspecies. Concerned parents and other personsmay wish to consult with a physician about eat-ing fish and mercury exposure.

(2) Mercury exposure can be reduced by limit-ing the consumption of large predatory fish.Larger/older fish of all types are more likely tohave higher concentrations of mercury.

(3) Avoid the consumption of fish parts otherthan fillets, especially when eating bottom feed-ing fish. Fatty internal organs tend to accumu-late higher levels of fat soluble contaminantssuch as chlordane and PCBs than fillets.

(4) Consumers can reduce their ingestion of fatsoluble contaminants such as chlordane andPCBs by trimming fat from fillets, and cooking ina manner in which fat drips away from the fillet.

(5) In water bodies where advisories or warningsrelated to harmful algae blooms have beenapplied, fish should be consumed in moderationand care taken to only consume skinless fillets.Avoid cutting into internal organs and as a pre-caution, rinse fillets with clean water prior tocooking or freezing.

It should be recognized that eating fish is con-sidered an integral part of a healthy and bal-anced diet. Concerned consumers should edu-cate themselves by seeking further informationabout the health benefits and risks of eating fish.

STATEWIDE ADVISORIESKansas recommends the following consump-tion restrictions because of mercury in fish:

1. Sensitive Populations should restrict con-sumption of all types of locally caught fish, fromwaters or species of fish not specifically cov-ered by an advisory to one meal per weekbecause of mercury.

2. Largemouth, smallmouth and spotted bass(black bass):

A. Sensitive Populations should restrict con sumption of these species to one meal per month because of mercury.

B. General Public should restrict consump tion of these species to one meal per week because of mercury.

Most bodies of water in Kansas are excellent homes for blue-green algae. Blue-green algae are bacteria that grow like plants.Blue-green algae in large numbers are common in standing watersuch as ponds or lakes especially during the summer months. Whenwater temperatures warm and nutrient conditions are right blue-green algae will multiply very rapidly in what are referred to as algaeblooms. Blue-green algae have the ability to produce natural poisons (toxins)that can affect human and animal health. During the algae bloom theamount of toxin in the water can increase to dangerous levels. At largerlakes in Kansas you may see signs posted warning that harmful algaeis present and asking you to avoid water contact. Please obey the warn-ings for your own safety. On small lakes or ponds if you see a scum thatlooks like green paint in the water, the water has an unpleasant mustyodor or you notice that several fish have died, avoid the water. Recreational activities like swimming, wading, water skiing andboating increase the risk of exposure and ingestion. Contact with oringestion of the water when high levels of toxins are present cancause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, skin rash, eye irritation and respi-ratory distress. To protect yourself and your pets you should avoidcontact and never drink the water. Pets and animals that drink watersthat contain toxins are at risk for serious illness and possible death.If you have concerns that you or a pet may have become ill after anexposure to toxins in the water call your doctor or veterinarian or yourlocal county health department. Visit www.kdheks.gov/algae-ill-ness/algae_advisories.htm for updated alert listings.

NORTHWEST

Aquatic nuisance species (ANS) pose a threat to native aquatic wildlife and plants. ANS speciesinclude the zebra mussel, New Zealand mud snail, Asian carp, white perch, purple loosestrife,saltcedar, fertile grass carp, and Eurasian watermilfoil. The areas listed below may have a red“ANS Alert” if ANS have been found there, followed by the species present. Livewells and bilgesshall be drained and the drain plugs removed from all vessels being removed from any waters ofthe state before transport on any public highway. See pages 31-33 for details.

Once a daily creel limit of any particular species has been possessed, any other fish of that species that is caught must be releasedimmediately, unharmed, into the water. It may not replace another fish already in the creel, except for participants in a weigh-in blackbass tournament who posses a Tournament Black Bass Pass.

Family Friendly Facility (FFF): While all Community FisheriesAssistance Program (CFAP) lakes are great places to go fishing,

some offer extra amenities to support family fishing trips. At these loca-tions, no alcohol is allowed, there are flush toilets, security patrols areconducted regularly, security lighting is in place, and there are easilyaccessible fishing spots. Any CFAP lake that provides these amenitiesis termed a “Family Friendly Facility” and is denoted with a “FFF.” Getthe family together and give them a try this summer!

8: Some communities have declined to lease their fishing rights tothe Community Fisheries Assistance Program (CFAP). Their lakesmay require an additional fee to fish. To ensure that you are aware ofthese locations, we have placed a 8 next to the name of each ofthese lakes. Any local fees in addition to your Kansas fishing licenseare implemented by your local community and not Kansas Wildlife,Parks and Tourism.

The following length and creel limits apply tothose bodies of water from the lake dam andupstream to the public property boundary.

No person may possess any live fish upon departure from any designated aquatic nuisance species (ANS) water. Designated ANS waters shall bethose specified in the department’s “Kansas designated aquatic nuisance waters table” (see Page 31.) Livewells and bilges shall be drained and the drainplugs removed from all vessels being removed from any waters of the state before transport on any public highway.

A slot-length limit prevents anglers from keeping fish WITHIN a certain size range.

BECOME A CERTIFIED FISHING INSTRUCTOR

If you have a passion for the outdoors and

enjoy sharing your knowledge with others,

a new program needs your help. The Angler

Education Program is designed to recruit

individuals who have a passion for fishing

and want to share it with others. The

Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and

Tourism (KDWPT) has partnered with

Fishing’s Future, a not-for-profit group

with a mission to reconnect kids with

nature, strengthen family bonds, and instill

a responsibility for stewardship of our

natural resources.

Similar to KDWPT’s Hunter Education

Program, Angler Education will certify

instructors who will become volunteers of

the State of Kansas. Certification events will

qualify instructors to teach everything from

class design, and working with children, to

environmental stewardship, knot tying, fish

identification, and casting.

Certified instructors may work alone or

with other instructors to teach general

fishing information, specific fishing

techniques, or just take families fishing.

To become a Kansas Angler Instructor, visit

fishingsfuture.org and look for upcoming

certification events in your area.

ANS WATERS MAP OF ANS WATERS

Kansas Waterways with Invasive Species Present(ASIAN CARP, WHITE PERCH or ZEBRA MUSSEL) Anglers who have been

fishing in waters whereaquatic nuisance species(ANS) have been foundmay not leave thosewaters with any live fish.The following is a list ofANS waters. New watersmay be included whenev-er ANS are discovered.ANS designated waterswill be posted with signsillustrated to the right.

WILD-CAUGHT BAITLive baitfish may be caught and used as live bait only within the commondrainage where caught. However, bluegill and green sunfish collectedfrom non-designated aquatic nuisance waters may be possessed orused as live bait anywhere in the state. Live baitfish shall not be trans-ported and used above any upstream dam or barrier that prohibits thenormal passage of fish. Live baitfish collected from designated aquaticnuisance waters shall be possessed or used as live bait only while onthat water and shall not be transported from the water alive.

Waters separated by countycontaining select prohibited ANS species(zebra mussels, white perch, Asian carp)

ZEBRA MUSSEL WHITE PERCH• Zebra mussels are found in the Kansaslakes and impoundments designated withthe red “ANS Alert - Zebra Mussels” in the“Locations, Length and Creel Limits” list-ing on Pages 12-29 of this pamphlet, aswell as the rivers that flow from theseimpoundments. Fish may not be transport-ed live from these waters.

• They filter vast quantities of water, whichalters the entire food web within a water-body. Although this filtering action may clearup the water in some instances, the clear water will often lead to algaeblooms that are harmful to people. The clear water can also allow UVrays to damage fish eggs.

• They can reach high densities, causing problems to water intakes,docks, and boat motors. Nationwide expenditures to control zebra mus-sels in industrial plants alone are estimated at $310 million per year.

• They have sharp shells that can cut the unprotected skin of humansor pets. Shoes or other protective clothing are recommended whenwading in zebra mussel infested water.

• All aquatic users need to do their part to prevent the spread ofzebra mussels to other waters in Kansas. Follow control recommen-dations and tell others how to prevent the spread of zebra mussels.

• White perch are found in the Kansas lakes and impoundmentsdesignated with the red “ANS Alert - White Perch” in the “Locations,Length and Creel Limits” listing on Pages 12-29 of this pamphlet. Fishmay not be transported live from these waters.

• White perch have been associated with declines in both walleyeand white bass populations.

• They out-compete native fishes for food and space.

• They hybridize with white bass.

• KDWPT has added white perch to the prohibited species list. Thepossession of live white perch is prohibited. Dead white perch may stillbe possessed or used as bait on the waters where they were taken.

• Spiny and soft dorsal fins are connected; both fins pop-up whenspiny dorsal manually erected.

IT IS AGAINST BOTH STATE AND FEDERAL LAW TO RELEASEANY EXOTIC SPECIES IN KANSAS WATERS.


It is illegal to transport certain species in Kansas. Protectyourself and your natural resources.

Livewells and bilges must be drained and drain plugsremoved from all vessels being removed from watersof the state before transport on a public highway.

Before leaving any body of water:

CLEANInspect all equipment for anything attached (plants, ani-mals, and mud) and remove anything that is found.

DRAINDrain all water from equipment (livewell, bilge, bait buck-ets) before using at a different location.

DRYDry all equipment for a minimum of 5 days before using again.If you need to use it sooner, wash with hot (140º) water.

Non-native species pose a serious threat to Kansas waters. Ifyou find one of these species, do not release it back into thewater. Contact the Emporia Research Office at (620) 342-0658 or your local KDWPT office. For more information go tothe KDWPT website, ksoutdoors.com

SALTCEDAR (TAMARISK)

• Saltcedar is a small tree or shrub that produces pink flowers Maythrough October and can be found in 49 Kansas counties.

• It forms dense monocultures and dramatically changes vegetationstructure and animal species diversity.

• It accumulates salt in its tissues, which is later released, makingsoil unsuitable for many native plant species.

• Infestations of saltcedar can reduce or eliminate water flow instreams.

• Leaves, twigs, and seeds are extremely low in nutrients, and, as aresult, very few insects or wildlife will use them.

FERTILE GRASS CARP

• It is illegal to possess or import fertile grass carp.

PURPLE LOOSESTRIFEEURASIAN WATERMILFOIL

• Asian carp include bighead, silver, and black carp species.

• Bighead and silver carp can be found in the Kansas, Missouri,Wakarusa, and Big Blue rivers and their tributaries. Fish may not betransported live from these waters.

• These fish are highly adaptive, prolific spawners, and directly com-pete with other fish for food and space.

• Silver carp pose a physical danger to boaters because of theirleaping ability.

• Eurasian watermilfoil formsdense mats on the water's sur-face.

• It reproduces by fragmenta-tion, and plant fragments canbe transported by boaters.

• It will shade out native vege-tation and reduce oxygen levelsduring decomposition.

• Eurasian watermilfoil forms adense canopy that hinders recre-ational activities.

• Purple loosestrife is estab-lished in several areas acrossKansas.

• Loosestrife restricts nativewetland plant species, includingsome federally endangeredorchids, and reduces habitat forwaterfowl.

• It is highly tolerant to distur-bance and reproduces throughthe dispersal of thousands oftiny seeds.

• The New Zealand mudsnail(NZMS) has not been reported inKansas, but is considered a priorityspecies because of the late 2004introduction into Colorado.

• Mature New Zealand mudsnailsaverage 5mm (2/10-inch) in lengthand have brown or black cone-shaped shells with five whorls.

• NZMS disrupt the food chainby consuming algae in the stream and competing with native bottom-dwelling invertebrates. A population crash of invertebrates can followthe introduction of NZMS, which reduces fish forage. With a decreasein food availability, fish populations may decline as well.

• Mudsnails are able to withstand desiccation, a variety of tempera-tures, and are small enough that many types of water users (anglers,swimmers, pets) could inadvertently transfer this nuisance species. Ittakes only one snail to start an infestation.

It is important to correctly identify species of fish that are covered by special regulations, such as length limits and creel limits. The followingthree pages are designed to help with the identification of the most common of Kansas’ fish. Color illustrations and descriptions such as size,shape, markings, and other characteristics are listed. Some species that are closely related have slight variances in characteristics. Thesespecies have been grouped together for quick reference.

FISH IDENTIFICATION GUIDE

The striped bass, or striper, is a saltwater native. Populations are maintained throughstocking. Stripers have slender bodies: measurement from belly to back is generallyless than one-third their length. They have distinct unbroken horizontal stripes. It iscommon for them to reach and exceed 20 pounds. Their spiny and soft dorsal fins arenot connected; both fins do not pop-up when the spiny dorsal manually erected. Theback of the tongue has TWO tooth patches. Striped bass are temperature sensitiveand fishing is usually best in winter, spring, and early summer.

STRIPED BASS

Wipers are a hybrid of white bass and striped bass, and they grow fast and fighthard. Populations are maintained through stocking. Small wipers look like whitebass. They are deep-bodied: measurement from belly to back is generally more thanone-third their length. They have distinct broken horizontal stripes. They may exceed10 pounds. Spiny and soft dorsal fins are not connected; both fins do not pop-upwhen the spiny dorsal is manually erected. The back of the tongue has TWO toothpatches. Casting bucktail jigs or topwater plugs in spring and early summer is themost exciting way to catch them.

WIPER

Native to eastern Kansas rivers, white bass have been stocked in reservoirsthroughout the state. White bass are deep-bodied: measurement from belly to backis generally more than one-third their length. They generally do not have distinct hor-izontal stripes. They seldom exceed 3 pounds. Spiny and soft dorsal fins are not con-nected; both fins do not pop-up when spiny dorsal manually erected. Back of tonguehas ONE tooth patch. The spring spawning run is a great time to catch white bass inrivers and streams above reservoirs. (See page 31 on white perch.)

WHITE BASS

The largemouth bass is native to many streams in eastern Kansas and has been stockedin most reservoirs, lakes, and ponds throughout the state. Largemouths are usually foundnear aquatic vegetation or other structure. The largemouth’s upper jaw extends beyond theeye. April and May are the best months to fish for largemouths. Best lures include spinner-baits, jig-and-pig combinations, plastic worms, and crankbaits.

LARGEMOUTH BASS

Smallmouth bass are native to just a few streams in southeastern Kansas, but theyhave been stocked in several lakes and reservoirs. Smallmouths prefer clear wateraround rip-rap and rocky points. Brown to olive-green markings and an upper jawthat does not extend beyond the eye distinguish the smallmouth. The best monthsto catch smallmouths include April, May, and June. Best baits include curly-tail jigs,tube jigs, spinner baits, and crankbaits.

SMALLMOUTH BASS

Spotted bass, or Kentucky bass, are native to the clear streams of the Flint Hills.They have been stocked in several reservoirs and lakes. The upper jaw does notextend beyond the eye, and they have distinct dark-green, diamond-shaped blotchesalong the upper half of the body. They also may have rows of dark spots along thelower belly. Small jigs, spinners, crankbaits, wooly worms, wooly buggers, and pop-pers are best baits.

SPOTTED BASS


Native to most of the state’s rivers, the flathead has adapted well to reservoirs.Flatheads are often mottled brown/black and pale yellow. They have a broad flat headwhich has a lower jaw that extends beyond the upper jaw. Flatheads are generallymuch larger than channel cats, with weights of over 100 pounds reported. The anal finhas less than 30 supporting rays with round edge and a square, non-forked tail.Banklines, rod and reel, and trotlines are all popular methods, and live bait is neces-sary.

FLATHEAD CATFISH

Channel catfish are native to Kansas and each year millions are stocked in com-munity, state, and urban fishing lakes. They are often brownish-yellow in colorwith a white belly. Juveniles will have black or brown spots (See inset illustration)and spawning males can be dark blue in color. The lower jaw is even with theupper jaw and weights rarely exceed 30 pounds. The channel’s anal fin is shorterthan the blue, with less than 30 supporting rays and a round edge. The tail isforked. Reservoirs provide outstanding channel catfish populations that can becaught year-round. Private farm ponds also provide great channel cat fishing.

CHANNEL CATFISH

There are three species of bullheads in Kansas: the black, yellow, and brown. The blackbullhead is common to streams and ponds, and the less common yellow is found mostly inthe eastern half of the state. The bullhead is dark-green or yellow-green with a white or yel-lowish belly. The black bullhead is usually larger than the yellow and the barbels on thelower jaw are darker than the surrounding skin. The yellow’s barbels on the lower jaw arewhite. Bullheads exceeding 2 pounds are uncommon. Bullheads are great fish for younganglers, biting readily on worms, liver and dead bait.

BULLHEAD

The blue catfish is native to rivers in northeast Kansas and is not as common aschannel or flathead catfish. Blues are pale blue in color although white or dark blueand black are not uncommon. Head generally appears small with a distinct hump inyounger fish. The lower jaw is even with the upper jaw and weights of over 100pounds have been reported. The anal fin is long, containing 30-35 supporting rayswith a flat edge and the tail is forked.

BLUE CATFISH

The green sunfish is one of the most abundant sunfish in Kansas. It has the blue tabon its gill cover, but is somewhat less saucer shaped than the bluegill and has anoticeably larger mouth. Fins are usually edged in yellow. The green sunfish, or“greenie,” is a great fish for kids and will nearly always hit small baits and lures.

GREEN SUNFISH

Bluegill are native to eastern Kansas streams and have been stocked in ponds andlakes throughout the state. A saucer-shaped sunfish with a namesake blue tab on itsgill cover, the bluegill is a popular sportfish that readily takes bait or small lures. It isa fine eating fish as well. Early June, when they move into the shallows and dish outsmall nests for spawning, is a great time to catch them. Fly gear is particularly effec-tive at this time.

BLUEGILL


The unusual paddlefish is found in a few of the larger rivers of eastern Kansas, commononly in the spring when they move upstream to spawn. They feed on plankton, and the onlyway to catch them is snagging. A special snagging season has been established on a fewstreams during the spring migration. Anglers use heavy tackle and hooks tied specifically forsnagging. Paddlefish are long and thick bodied. They are blue in color with white bellies.They have a long snout, which readily identifies the fish from other species. Weights of over100 pounds have been reported but 30 to 50 are more common.

PADDLEFISH

Stocked in many Kansas reservoirs, the walleye is a member of the perch family.The walleye is thick-bodied and brown/black and yellow in color with indistinctblotches on the sides, not extending below the lateral line. The spiny dorsal fin hasindistinct streaks or blotches with a distinct dark blotch at its rear base. The cheek-plate is smooth with few scales. April, May and early June are the best months tocatch them. Anglers troll crankbaits or drift jigs with live bait to catch these fish.

WALLEYE

Sauger are common in the Missouri River, and some may have migrated to the KansasRiver from the Missouri. The sauger is thin-bodied and brown/black and yellow in color,with distinct blotches on the sides extending below the lateral line. The spiny dorsalfin is colorless with distinct circular black spots throughout. Their cheekplates are rough withfew scales. Drifting jigs or spinner rigs tipped with bait over main-lake points and mudflats isa popular angling technique with these fish.

SAUGER

The saugeye is a hybrid of a sauger and walleye and was first stocked in Kansas in1990. Like other hybrids, the saugeye is hardy and grows fast.The saugeye is thick-bodied and brown/black and yellow in color, with distinct blotches on the sidesextending below the lateral line. The spiny dorsal has distinct streaks, often with oneor two rows of spots at the base along with a dark blotch at the rear base of the fin.It’s cheekplate is rough with scales. Saugeye are often caught drifting flats and main-lake points with jig-night crawler combinations and trolling crankbaits.

SAUGEYE

The redear sunfish is an introduced species, stocked in small lakes and farm ponds.It is similar in shape to the bluegill and has a red trim around the tab on its gill cover.Redears get bigger than bluegill and are generally more difficult to catch. Calledshellcrackers in the South, redears will feed on snails and other mollusks. Redearsgenerally prefer deeper water than other sunfishes and are not usually found nearshorelines.

REDEAR SUNFISH

The native white crappie is one of the most abundant and popular sportfish in Kansas.Vertical barring evident in the speckled coloration on white crappie distinguish them fromblack crappie. White crappie have six spines in the spiny dorsal fin, while black crappiehave seven or eight. White crappie are generally found in large schools. April and May arethe best months to catch white crappie, and best baits include minnows, jigs and smallspinners.

WHITE CRAPPIE

The non-native black crappie has been stocked in reservoirs, and especially insmaller lakes and ponds. Black crappie have a dark green, uniform speckled col-oration with no vertical barring. There are seven or eight spines in the dorsal fin.Black crappie prefer clear lakes or ponds and are not as prone to overpopulating aswhite crappie. April and May are best months to catch black crappie, and jigs, min-nows, and small spinners are best baits.

BLACK CRAPPIE


The common carp was brought to the U.S. from Asia in the late 19th century.Originally stocked for a sportfish, the adaptable carp was soon considered a nui-sance. Carp are common in nearly all waters in Kansas. They feed mostly on inver-tebrates and green plant material. Anglers use dough baits or corn to catch carp, andthey fight hard. Intermuscular bones make the meat less desirable, but it has manyfans who have learned to prepare it properly.

COMMON CARP

The bigmouth buffalo is native to the larger rivers of eastern Kansas, and hasbecome abundant in many reservoirs. The buffalo feeds on plankton and is consid-ered a rough fish. With an angled sucker mouth, the buffalo doesn’t feed on the bot-tom. At one time, it was an important commercial fish, and is still taken by commer-cial netters for fish markets. The buffalo prefers deep, still pools and can becomequite numerous in oxbows and reservoirs.

BIGMOUTH BUFFALO

The northern pike is a rare introduced species. It was stocked in the late 1960s as ameans of controlling panfish. However, few Kansas waters provide the northern withsuitable habitat. The northern pike prefers clear, weedy water. They are long andthick bodied. Occasionally, smaller lakes are stocked with northern pike to help con-trol populations of undesirable fish, as well as provide anglers with an exciting oppor-tunity.

NORTHERN PIKE

The grass carp is an introduced species brought from Asia. The grass carp’s diet isentirely vegetation, and it has been stocked to control aquatic vegetation. Grass carpget big and are extremely powerful swimmers. Anglers have discovered they can becaught on small flies imitating bits of vegetation, and hooking a large grass carp canbe a wild experience. Considered a nonsport fish, grass carp are legal bowfishingquarry.

GRASS CARP

The drum is common in eastern Kansas rivers and streams and has adapted well toreservoirs. Also called sheepshead, the drum emits a grunting, or drumming, noisewith special muscles that vibrate against the swim bladder. Jigs, jigs tipped with nightcrawlers, and crankbaits will catch drum, although a gob of worms stillfished mightbe the best technique. Although defined as a nonsport fish, their meat is white andtasty.

DRUM

Trout provide a winter fishery where they are stocked. Populations are maintainedthrough winter stocking, and generally most of the stocked fish are caught during theNov. 1 – April 15 season. Anglers are required to have a trout stamp in addition to therequired licenses. A variety of methods are popular, from fly tackle or spinners to wormsand PowerBait fished on the bottom.

RAINBOW/BROWN TROUT


PALLID STURGEON

The shovelnose sturgeon is common in the Missouri, Kansas and Republican riversand in lower parts of the Blue and Smoky Hill rivers. There is also a single recordfrom the Arkansas River in Sedgwick County. Adults are usually 20-25 inches long.Often caught by anglers fishing with worms, the shovelnose can be distinguishedfrom the endangered pallid in that the belly has small bony scales, and the fourfringed barbels beneath the snout are in a straight line. The dorsal fin has 30-36 raysand the anal fin has 18-23 rays.

SHOVELNOSE STURGEON

The lake sturgeon may be found in the Missouri and Kansas rivers in Kansas. Thelargest documented lake sturgeon was caught in Atchison County on the MissouriRiver and weighed 12.5 pounds and was 40 inches long. It is considered endan-gered in Kansas and can be distinguished from the other Kansas sturgeon by itsshort, bluntly-shaped snout that is not upturned. It's overall body shape is blunterthan the other two sturgeon, as well, with a shorter tail and tail fin. The pectoral finsjust behind the gills are smaller in comparison to body size than the other Kansassturgeons.

LAKE STURGEON

The pallid sturgeon is native to the Missouri and Mississippi River drainages and arepresent in the Kansas River. The largest one documented in Kansas was over 40 inch-es long. It is listed as an endangered species in Kansas and can be distinguished fromthe more common shovelnose sturgeon in that the four fringed barbels are not in astraight line across the snout, and the belly is usually scaleless. The dorsal fin has 37-43 rays and the anal fin has 24-28 rays. Young pallid sturgeon that are stocked into theMissouri River may have florescent-colored tags on the underside of the snout. If youcatch a sturgeon that is larger than 30 inches or weighs more than 5 pounds, it is likelya pallid sturgeon and must be released immediately.Skin-like

The spotted gar has jaws less than twice the length of its head and is spotted withdark, round spots on the top and sides of its head. Most spotted gar are less than 30inches long. Like other gars, it is covered with a tough armor of thick, heavy scales.It may be confined to the lower Neosho basin where it prefers still pools.

SPOTTED GAR

The shortnose gar has jaws less than twice the length of its head and has spots onits fins but differs from the spotted gar by the absence of spots on its head. Theshortnose gar is common only in the larger rivers of eastern Kansas. Most shortnosegar are less than 24 inches long.

SHORTNOSE GAR

The longnose gar is native to most of the rivers in the eastern half of Kansas and is themost abundant and largest of the three gar species. It is greenish in color with darkspots on its sides and fins and can be distinguished by its long, narrow snout, which ismore than twice as long as the distance between the edge of the eye and the back ofthe head. The bony mouth makes it almost impossible to hook, so anglers use spinnerswith nylon thread instead of hooks. The nylon tangles in the fine teeth that line the jaws.

COMMUNITY FISHERIES ASSISTANCE PROGRAM The Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks andTourism' (KDWPT) Fish and Wildlife Division willcontinue the Community Fisheries AssistanceProgram (CFAP) in 2016. Using matching fundsfrom federal excise taxes on fishing equipmentand motor boat fuel, the department leases fishingrights to nearly 240 community lakes statewide,which remove fishing and boating fees for anglerson approximately 13,000 acres of water. The program uses federal aid from theSportfish Restoration Act (see page 5). Communities that participate in this program no longer chargeanglers to fish. In the past, some communities charged boating andfishing fees for anglers. KDWPT officials hope removing this barrierincreases opportunities for anglers to fish close to home.

Lakes that were not charging fees are also included in the program.Lease money for these lakes can be used to improve fisheries andangler facilities. KDWPT has designed a lease rate formula based onthe number of surface acres and the quality of the fishery and facilitiesat these lakes. Larger lakes offering more facilities will receive greaterlease amounts than smaller lakes with fewer facilities. This formulaallows KDWPT to offer the program to everyone. Along with the lease payments, the department provides participatinglocal governments with increased access to resources and contact withdistrict fisheries biologists. Lakes in the program also receive priority forfish stocking, habitat improvement services, and additional improve-ment grants. This ultimately improves fisheries management and facili-ties for Kansas anglers. Consult the 2016 Kansas Fishing Atlas (at license vendors or theKDWPT website) for locations of waters enrolled in CFAP.

PUBLIC PROGRAMS

URBAN FISHING PROGRAM To improve fishing opportunities in urban areaswhere the demand for fish exceeds the supply,KDWPT created an urban fish stocking program.Eighty lakes currently are stocked with 3/4- to 1 1/2-pound channel catfish, hybrid sunfish, and wipers asoften as every two weeks from April throughSeptember. All metropolitan areas that have a humanpopulation over 40,000, with available public fishingwaters, are served by this program. If you live in thelisted counties, you have an urban lake near you.These are great locations for a quick family fishingtrip. Just throw the gear in the car and make the shortdrive to the nearest designated urban fishing lake.The counties served by the program are Atchison,Butler, Douglas, Finney, Johnson, Leavenworth,Lyon, Ottawa, Pottawatomie, Reno, Riley, Saline,Sedgwick, Shawnee, and Wyandotte. To get a complete list of the individual lakes and astocking schedule, contact your nearest KDWPToffice or the KDWPT website at ksoutdoors.com.

FISHING CLINICS Fishing clinics are given by departmentemployees at state fishing lakes, parks, and citylakes and ponds. Most are geared towardyounger children and others who may not havemuch experience with fishing techniques andtactics. They are held throughout the spring andsummer months and occasionally in the fall. Content covered in a clinic varies by presen-ters, but all have fishing as a central theme.Fish identification, management, castingdemonstrations, equipment, water safety, andeven fish cooking are a few areas covered.Plenty of time is devoted to baiting hooks andcatching fish, too. The primary species caughtduring fishing clinics include bluegill, greensunfish (often mistakenly called “perch”), chan-nel catfish, and largemouth bass. Rods, reels, and other necessary fishingequipment will be provided for use in clinics. Fishing clinics serve to educate and entertainthousands of Kansas youngsters each year.Information and experience gained during theseclinics remain with children forever. Thoseinvolved learn to appreciate the joys fishing canoffer and the rewards of a fine day on the water. If you would like more information on fish-ing clinics in your area, contact the nearestKDWPT office or the Pratt Operations Officeat (620) 672-5911.

TROUT PROGRAM In order to provide a special statewide fish-ing opportunity, KDWPT operates a trout pro-gram by stocking harvestable-sized trout into36 designated locations. Since 1997, thedepartment has annually stocked as many as180,000 rainbow trout that average one-halfpound each. In addition, more than 3,500brown trout are stocked at Mined Land WA#30 and Kanopolis Seep Stream. This pro-gram is funded with a state trout permit andfederal aid dollars. For more information onthe stocking locations and schedule, seePage 9 of this publication or visit our websiteat ksoutdoors.com.

PUBLIC PROGRAMS

F.I.S.H.: ACCESS TO PRIVATE PROPERTY

The Fishing Impoundments and Stream Habitat (F.I.S.H.) program has gained popularity with landowners and anglers alike.The program enrolled 1,900 acres of ponds and more than 70 miles of streams on private land for public fishing

access. The program includes ponds and lakes ranging in size from 1 acre to more than 70 acres, as well asaccess to stream reaches formerly unavailable to the public.

The F.I.S.H. sites are open to public access from March 1 through October 31. (Some are open year-round.) Impounded FISH waters have a creel limit of two channel catfish, a creel limit of two largemouth bass,and an 18-inch minimum length limit on largemouth bass. Otherwise, all Kansas fishing regulations andstatewide creel limits apply. It’s especially important for anglers using the sites to respect and follow the rulesthat apply on F.I.S.H. properties. You do not need to contact the landowner for permission on F.I.S.H. waters. Anglers who want more information should contact the nearest regional KDWPT office or the department’s

Pratt Operations Office at (620) 672-5911 for a Kansas Fishing Atlas. That information is also available onthe KDWPT web site, ksoutdoors.com.

Landowners who are interested in enrolling waters in the program should also phone the nearest regionalKDWPT office or the Pratt Operations Office.
