Want to get “hooked” on something? Saturday, June 4 and Sunday, June 5, are Free Fishing Days in Kansas, when anyone can fish on any public waters without a fishing license. The Free weekend provides the perfect opportunity to introduce someone to the joys of angling; kind-of a “try-it-before-you-buy-it” opportunity. In Kansas, anyone age 16-74 must have a fishing license to fish, except on Free Fishing Days. Although license requirements are waived, anglers must still abide by all other regulations, such as length and creel limits and equipment requirements.
After you find an ideal spot or two, check out the 2022 Kansas Fishing Regulations Summary, prior to hitting the water. The Summary contains vital information, specific to all public waters and even has some handy tips and tricks on tying knots and identifying fish. View an electronic version at “KSOUTDOORS.COM/FISHING”. With the right location, a variety of baits to choose from and some cooperative weather, Kansas fishing can be a blast. Give it a try; we can bet you’ll be hooked.
