Anglers can download a PDF of the 2014 Kansas Fishing Regulations Summary

PRATT – For anglers, timely, quality information can be the difference between getting a couple tugs on a lure and a grill lined-to-the-brim with your favorite catch. Cram-packed with all the information you need to set up for a perfect day of fishing, the 2014 Kansas Fishing Regulations Summary is the closest you can get to having a game warden, a fisheries biologist, and a hatchery manager at your beck and call. This free, easy to use, full-color pamphlet can be downloaded online now at ksoutdoors.com by clicking “Fishing Regulations.” Print copies will be available wherever licenses are sold within one to two weeks.


Apart from information on important fishing regulations such as special seasons, creel and length limits, license fees and legal fishing methods, anglers will also find a helpful section highlighting new regulations for the 2014 season in the summary. This publication is a must-have for anglers because creel and length limits vary from lake to lake.

Included in a special 16-page section, this pamphlet also lists all public waters, along with their location and any special regulations in effect. At the turn of a page, anglers can see which community lakes don’t charge extra fees for fishing, as well as community lakes designated as Family Friendly Facilities (FFF) that will include flush toilet facilities, security patrols, security lighting, easy access to the water and do not allow alcohol.


Information is also provided on aquatic nuisance species (ANS), as well as regulations governing the use of live baitfish. Five pages are devoted to fish identification, featuring color illustrations by Joe Tomelleri. Current state record fish are listed, and there is also a Master Angler Application for anglers who catch fish that qualify for this certificate award program.


The 2014 Kansas Fishing Regulations Summary pamphlet is truly an angler’s “Bible.” Grab a copy, read it, and keep it by your side. Available at more than 200 outlets statewide, and online, there’s no excuse to ever find yourself without one.

Thanks for the info Craig! Was also curious if kdwp was going to post an updated fish stocking report for what was stocked in 2013. The website currently only shows 2012 except for trout stockings. I know this probably isn't your area but thought maybe you could ask about it.

Ryan,

I checked with the IT staff. They are working on the stocking reports updates and they should be up soon.

We are also getting close to having the 2014 Fishing Forecast completed.
