Fishing is free all weekend long in Kansas. June 4th and 5th are Free Fishing Days in Kansas, when anyone can fish on any public waters without a fishing license. According to the Kansas Department of Parks and Wildlife, the free weekend provides the perfect opportunity to introduce someone to the joys of angling; kind of a “try it before you buy it” opportunity. In Kansas, anyone age 16-74 must have a fishing license to fish, except on Free Fishing Days, and although license requirements are waived, anglers must still abide by all other regulations such as length and creel limits, and equipment requirements.
