2009 KANSAS FISHING ATLAS NOW AVAILABLE ONLINE

Atlas includes maps of all public-access fishing areas

Anglers looking forward to warmer weather will find welcome news in the 2009 Kansas Fishing Atlas, available for viewing and download from the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks' (KDWP) website. Printed copies will be available soon at most KDWP offices and license vendors or by emailing teris@wp.state.ks.us.

The 2009 Kansas Fishing Atlas is an invaluable tool for Kansas anglers. The maps in this atlas pinpoint a variety of public fishing areas, including Fishing Impoundment and Stream Habitats (F.I.S.H.) waters. F.I.S.H. waters are privately-owned ponds or streams KDWP has leased and opened to public fishing. F.I.S.H. sites are numbered in red on each map.
Each map also shows all federal reservoirs, state fishing lakes, river access, and community lakes. To find fishing areas, consult the map legend, then locate corresponding color codes on the county maps. With this atlas, anglers can locate just about any type of fishing desired.
