Before you go
A Kansas fishing licence runs $25 a year for residents. KDWP sets the rules and is the one that counts.

KDWP sets a size or bag limit for 12 species here — 12 with at least one area open today. Where a species is open in one water and closed in another, its own page says which. Each page carries the agency's own figures, the date they were read, and what is still unsettled.

That call belongs to Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) — advisories are named per waterbody, alongside a general mercury caution. We link the source instead of paraphrasing health advice.
