TOPEKA (KSNT) - Biologists with the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks (KDWP) released a list of the top 10 locations to go fishing for Kansas' most popular sports fish.
The KDWP recently released the 2023 Kansas Fishing Regulations Summary and Fishing Atlas, which goes over everything from how to purchase a license, new regulations for the year and some of the hottest spots to go fishing for your favorite species. The fish listed by the KDWP in the atlas' fishing forecast include:
Channel catfish
Crappie
Black Bass
Wiper
Walleye
Saugeye
Each lake or reservoir listed by the KDWP includes categories for the density rating, preferred rating, lunker rating and biggest fish caught during sampling. Ratings are averages of all samples collected over the past three years.
Density rating: the number of catchable-size fish captured per unit of sampling effort.
Preferred rating: identifies the relative number of preferred-size fish in the samples.
Lunker rating: represents sampling catch rate of memorable-size fish and serves as an index of trophy angling potential.
The breakdown for the species listed above can be found here:
