FISH and FISHERIES FUND

Benefit fisheries by helping to support fish habitat on public waters.

This Fish and Fisheries Fund seeks to help preserve fish and suitable habitat for game fish species, as well as non-game fish species.

Make an unrestricted donation to the Fish and Fisheries Fund to be used for any program or project in the Fund that the department views as a priority. You also may dedicate your gift to be spread across a selection of two or more programs or projects of your choice.

Fish Habitat and Lake Rehabilitation

Kansas lakes and reservoirs are aging and in need of your help. Most Kansas lakes were created in the 1930s through the 1960s. Siltation, wind erosion, invasive species, and excess nutrients are degrading the fishery potential in our Kansas water bodies.

How Your Donation May Be Used

Assistance will provide vegetation, woody habitat, gravel and rock, silt dredging, and/or full-scale lake renovations.

Fish Stockings

Fish stockings play a critical role in fisheries management in Kansas lakes and reservoirs. Aging reservoirs with degraded habitat do not provide essential spawning habitat for fish reproduction and recruitment. Kansas' four state fish hatcheries are essential to providing stockings to ensure future fishing opportunities.

How Your Donation May Be Used

Assistance will provide critical components to our hatchery programs and ensure fish stockings continue and are updated to new technologies.
