NEW REGULATION SPECIFIES TWO
TROUT WATER CATEGORIES
Some waters require a permit whether
fishing for trout or not
22 Mar 2007 - A new fishing regulation that
went into effect Jan. 1 mandates that, during the Oct. 15-April
15 trout season, some waters stocked with trout require a trout
permit ($12.15) whether fishing for trout or not. Anglers fishing
other trout-stocked waters are required to have a permit only
if fishing for trout. The daily creel limit is five trout unless
otherwise posted. The possession limit is 15.
In addition to the trout permit, all residents
16 through 64 years old and non-residents 16 and older must also
have a valid fishing license. Trout permits are available at
offices of the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks, most
county clerk offices, license vendors, or online. Permits are
valid for the current calendar year.
The following is a list of waters where a trout
permit is required of all anglers: Cedar Bluff Stilling Basin,
Cimarron Grasslands Pits, Dodge City Lake Charles, Ft. Scott
Gunn Park Lake, Garnett Crystal Lake, Glen Elder SP Pond, Kanopolis
Seep Stream, KDOT East Lake in Wichita, Lake Henry in Clinton
SP, Mined Land WA Unit #30, Pratt Centennial Pond, Sandsage Bison
Range and WA Sandpits, Vic's Lake and Slough Creek in Sedgwick
County Park, Topeka Auburndale Park, Walnut River Area in El
Dorado SP, and Webster Stilling Basin.
A trout permit is required only for trout anglers
in the following lakes: Ft. Riley Cameron Springs, Great Bend
Veterans Memorial Park Lake, Hutchinson Dillon Nature Center
Pond, Kanopolis State Park Pond, Moon Lake on Fort Riley, Salina
Lakewood Lake, Scott State Fishing Lake, Scott State Park Pond,
Moss Lake and Horseshoe Lake in Sedgwick County Park, Sherman
County Smoky Gardens Lake, and Solomon River between Webster
Reservoir and Rooks County #2 Road.
In addition, trout fishing at Mined Land Wildlife
Area Unit #30, in Cherokee County, and Tuttle Creek State Park
Willow Lake requires a trout permit year-round.
Some local governments in areas such as Topeka
and Kansas City have their own trout stocking programs. Many
of these require a fee, but the state permit is not required.
Local city and county recreation departments have details.
Approximate trout stocking dates and sites are
available online
