White and black crappie size limit in Kansas

You can keep one today — within these limits

Statewide

Open year-round

Size limit	No size limit stated	total length
Daily bag	50	per person per day, both species combined
Possession	150	total you may hold

No minimum size, fifty a day combined — the highest bag limit in Kansas's statewide table. Milford follows this default.

Open year-round

Size limit	10 inches and up	total length
Daily bag	50	per person per day, both species combined
Possession	150	total you may hold

Same 50-fish bag as statewide, but with a 10-inch minimum added.

Kansas's blanket rule — possession is three times the daily creel limit unless a water lists its own possession number — was applied to every statewide and named-water entry above. No individual water in this table stated a possession number that broke from the 3x rule.
Milford and Cheney both carry dozens of further named-water rules across Kansas that are not modelled here — only the two reservoirs this site actually reports on (Milford Reservoir, Cheney Reservoir) got individual regions, the same restraint used for Colorado's Gold Medal waters and Louisiana's and Mississippi's named-water exceptions.
Bullfrogs (8 per day, 24 in possession after day three of the season) are not a finfish and are not modelled here, consistent with every other state in this silo.
