No license required to fish June 1 and 2, 2013

Typically, if you’re between 16 and 74, you have to get a license to legally fish in Kansas. But for the first weekend in June, you can fish for free! Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks, and Tourism has put together recommended spots to fish throughout the state. With over 10,000 miles of streams, rivers, and creeks, 40 state fishing lakes, and over 200 smaller fishing ponds, there’s plenty of opportunities for fishing.
