Kansas trout season kicks off
October 15
It's that time of the year again. The Kansas Department
of Wildlife and Parks will be stocking trout in selected areas
and anglers will be offered an opportunity to have some action
and good eating.
The trout season runs Oct. 15-April 15. During
that season, some waters stocked with trout require a trout permit
($12.15) whether fishing for trout or not, and others require
a trout permit only for anglers fishing for trout. Waters are
listed on the bottom of this page. In addition, all residents
16 through 64 years old and non-residents 16 and older must also
have a valid fishing license. Trout permits are available online or at most license vendors. THE PERMIT
IS VALID FOR THE CURRENT CALENDAR YEAR.

waters without a trout permit, but the limit of 5 trout a day
and 15 in possession is still active. This does not include
the waters that are stocked Year-Round.
Year-Round Stocking
Trout fishing at Mined Land Wildlife Area Unit
#30 (Cherokee County) and Tuttle Creek State Park Willow Lake
requires a trout permit year-round.
LIMIT : The daily creel limit is 5 trout.
The possession limit is 15.
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 should have details.
