The fine for fishing without a license in Kansas is $250.00 for the first offense.

However if it's your second offense of fishing without a license in Kansas then the fine goes up to $1,000.00 and if it happens again you can face a year in jail.

Usually as long as you have no criminal record and it's your first offense of fishing without a license the game warden will usually just give you a warning.

Then tell you to get a fishing license and email or send them the fishing license number.

A fishing license in Kansas is less than $50.00 and is much cheaper than the fines or possible jail time.

It's not worth the risk of going fishing without a fishing license.

You can even get your fishing gear confiscated for fishing without a license which costs more than the fishing license.

The fishing license revenue helps pay to keep the fishing areas and public camp grounds available.
