Kansas isn’t a trout state. It does have a short winter trout season, which only exists due to a stocking program run by the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks. ⁠ ⁠ But state officials say the supplemental fishery is costing them too much. In response to those rising costs, wildlife commissioners voted in June to shorten the Kansas trout season by a full six weeks. Starting this winter, the season that used to run from November through mid-April will open on Dec. 1 and close by the end of March. That’s a loss of one-and-a-half months for the state’s recreational trout fishermen. ⁠ ⁠ Tap the link in profile for the full story 🔗⁠ ⁠ #fishing #trout #troutfishing #flyfishing #fishingtrip #fishingseason #stockedtrout #Kansas #outdoors #nature #outdoorlife⁠ 📷: Alan Klotz / Maryland DNR⁠ Story by: krismillgate
