🪪 Do I need a fishing license to fish at the Lowell Reservoir?

Fishing in Kansas requires a valid state fishing license for anglers. Resident and non-resident annual and short-term licenses are available online or at authorized retailers.

In Kansas, no fishing license is required for anglers under 16 or residents 75 and older. Residents 65 and older qualify for a discounted license. A few other exceptions worth knowing:

  • Free fishing days — most states designate 1–2 weekends a year where anyone can fish without a license

  • Tribal waters — tribal members fishing on tribal land operate under separate tribal regulations

  • Private ponds — landowners fishing their own water typically don't need a license

Non-residents usually pay more for a license than residents. Some species also require an extra stamp or endorsement on top of your base license.
