BLUE-GREEN ALGAE IN KANSAS Most bodies of water in Kansas are excellent homes for blue- Keep Our green algae. Blue-green algae are bacteria that grow like plants. Blue-green algae in large numbers are common in standing water such as ponds or lakes especially during the summer months. When Water Clean! water temperatures warm and nutrient conditions are right blue- green algae will multiply very rapidly in what are referred to as algae blooms. Blue-green algae have the ability to produce natural poisons (toxins) Don’t throw used plastic that can affect human and animal health. During the algae bloom the amount of toxin in the water can increase to dangerous levels. At larger lakes in Kansas you may see signs posted warning that harmful algae baits overboard. Dispose of is present and asking you to avoid water contact. Please obey the warnings for your own safety. On small lakes or ponds if you see a scum that looks like green paint in the water, the water has an unpleasant musty plastic baits and any other odor or you notice that several fish have died, avoid the water. Recreational activities like swimming, wading, water skiing and boating increase the risk of exposure and ingestion. Contact with or trash properly. ingestion of the water when high levels of toxins are present can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, skin rash, eye irritation and respi- ratory distress. To protect yourself and your pets you should avoid contact and never drink the water. Pets and animals that drink waters that contain toxins are at risk for serious illness and possible death.

RESERVOIRS, STATE FISHING LAKES AND COMMUNITY WATERS

Family Friendly Facility (FFF): While all Community Fisheries Regional Map Assistance Program (CFAP) lakes are great places to go fishing, some offer extra amenities to support family fishing trips. At these locations, no alcohol is allowed, there are flush toilets, security patrols are conducted regularly, security lighting is in place, and there are easily accessible fishing spots. Any CFAP lake that provides these amenities NORTHWEST NORTHEAST is termed a “Family Friendly Facility” and is denoted with a “FFF.” Get the family together and give them a try this summer!

8: Some communities have declined to lease their fishing rights to the Community Fisheries Assistance Program (CFAP). Their lakes SOUTHWEST SOUTH may require an additional fee to fish. To ensure that you are aware of CENTRAL SOUTHEAST these locations, we have placed a 8 next to the name of each of these lakes. Any local fees in addition to your Kansas fishing license are implemented by your local community and not Kansas Wildlife, Parks and Tourism.

Creel limits for similar species, including largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, and spotted bass; or walleye, saugeye, and sauger; or blue and channel catfish apply to single species or in combination. For example, at Kanopolis Reservoir, an angler may keep five walleye OR three walleye and two saugeye OR any other combination of the two. A slot-length limit prevents anglers from keeping fish WITHIN a certain size range.

page 3333page FISH IDENTIFICATION GUIDE

It is important to correctly identify species of fish that are covered by special regulations, such as length limits and creel limits. The following three pages are designed to help with the identification of the most common of Kansas’ fish. Color illustrations and descriptions such as size, shape, markings, and other characteristics are listed. Some species that are closely related have slight variances in characteristics. These species have been grouped together for quick reference. (Fish illustrations by Joseph R. Tomelleri) STRIPED BASS The striped bass, or striper, is a saltwater native. Populations are maintained through stocking. Stripers have slender bodies: measurement from belly to back is generally less than one-third their length. They have distinct unbroken horizontal stripes. It is common for them to reach and exceed 20 pounds. Their spiny and soft dorsal fins are not connected; both fins do not pop-up when the spiny dorsal manually erected. The back of the tongue has TWO tooth patches. Striped bass are temperature sensitive and fishing is usually best in winter, spring, and early summer.

WIPER Wipers are a hybrid of white bass and striped bass, and they grow fast and fight hard. Populations are maintained through stocking. Small wipers look like white bass. They are deep-bodied: measurement from belly to back is generally more than one-third their length. They have distinct broken horizontal stripes. They may exceed 10 pounds. Spiny and soft dorsal fins are not connected; both fins do not pop-up when the spiny dorsal is manually erected. The back of the tongue has TWO tooth patches. Casting bucktail jigs or topwater plugs in spring and early summer is the most exciting way to catch them.

WHITE BASS Native to eastern Kansas rivers, white bass have been stocked in reservoirs throughout the state. White bass are deep-bodied: measurement from belly to back is generally more than one-third their length. They generally do not have distinct horizontal stripes. They seldom exceed 3 pounds. Spiny and soft dorsal fins are not connected; both fins do not pop-up when spiny dorsal manually erected. Back of tongue has ONE tooth patch. The spring spawning run is a great time to catch white bass in rivers and streams above reservoirs. (See page 31 on white perch.)

LARGEMOUTH BASS The largemouth bass is native to many streams in eastern Kansas and has been stocked in most reservoirs, lakes, and ponds throughout the state. Largemouths are usually found near aquatic vegetation or other structure. The largemouth’s upper jaw extends beyond the eye. April and May are the best months to fish for largemouths. Best lures include spinner- baits, jig-and-pig combinations, plastic worms, and crankbaits.

SMALLMOUTH BASS Smallmouth bass are native to just a few streams in southeastern Kansas, but they have been stocked in several lakes and reservoirs. Smallmouths prefer clear water around rip-rap and rocky points. Brown to olive-green markings and an upper jaw that does not extend beyond the eye distinguish the smallmouth. The best months to catch smallmouths include April, May, and June. Best baits include curly-tail jigs, tube jigs, spinner baits, and crankbaits.

SPOTTED BASS Spotted bass, or Kentucky bass, are native to the clear streams of the Flint Hills. They have been stocked in several reservoirs and lakes. The upper jaw does not extend beyond the eye, and they have distinct dark-green, diamond-shaped blotches along the upper half of the body. They also may have rows of dark spots along the lower belly. Small jigs, spinners, crankbaits, wooly worms, wooly buggers, and pop- pers are best baits.

page 34 FISH IDENTIFICATION GUIDE

FLATHEAD CATFISH Native to most of the state’s rivers, the flathead has adapted well to reservoirs. Flatheads are often mottled brown/black and pale yellow. They have a broad flat head which has a lower jaw that extends beyond the upper jaw. Flatheads are generally much larger than channel cats, with weights of over 100 pounds reported. The anal fin has less than 30 supporting rays with round edge and a square, non-forked tail. Banklines, rod and reel, and trotlines are all popular methods, and live bait is necessary. BLUE CATFISH The blue catfish is native to rivers in northeast Kansas and is not as common as channel or flathead catfish. Blues are pale blue in color although white or dark blue and black are not uncommon. Head generally appears small with a distinct hump in younger fish. The lower jaw is even with the upper jaw and weights of over 100 pounds have been reported. The anal fin is long, containing 30-35 supporting rays with a flat edge and the tail is forked.

CHANNEL CATFISH Channel catfish are native to Kansas and each year millions are stocked in community, state, and urban fishing lakes. They are often brownish-yellow in color with a white belly. Juveniles will have black or brown spots (See inset illustration) and spawning males can be dark blue in color. The lower jaw is even with the upper jaw and weights rarely exceed 30 pounds. The channel’s anal fin is shorter than the blue, with less than 30 supporting rays and a round edge. The tail is forked. Reservoirs provide outstanding channel catfish populations that can be caught year-round. Private farm ponds also provide great channel cat fishing.

BULLHEAD There are three species of bullheads in Kansas: the black, yellow, and brown. The black bullhead is common to streams and ponds, and the less common yellow is found mostly in the eastern half of the state. The bullhead is dark-green or yellow-green with a white or yel- lowish belly. The black bullhead is usually larger than the yellow and the barbels on the lower jaw are darker than the surrounding skin. The yellow’s barbels on the lower jaw are white. Bullheads exceeding 2 pounds are uncommon. Bullheads are great fish for young anglers, biting readily on worms, liver and dead bait.

BLUEGILL Bluegill are native to eastern Kansas streams and have been stocked in ponds and lakes throughout the state. A saucer-shaped sunfish with a namesake blue tab on its gill cover, the bluegill is a popular sportfish that readily takes bait or small lures. It is a fine eating fish as well. Early June, when they move into the shallows and dish out small nests for spawning, is a great time to catch them. Fly gear is particularly effec- tive at this time.

GREEN SUNFISH The green sunfish is one of the most abundant sunfish in Kansas. It has the blue tab on its gill cover, but is somewhat less saucer shaped than the bluegill and has a noticeably larger mouth. Fins are usually edged in yellow. The green sunfish, or “greenie,” is a great fish for kids and will nearly always hit small baits and lures.

page 35 FISH IDENTIFICATION GUIDE

REDEAR SUNFISH The redear sunfish is an introduced species, stocked in small lakes and farm ponds. It is similar in shape to the bluegill and has a red trim around the tab on its gill cover. Redears get bigger than bluegill and are generally more difficult to catch. Called shellcrackers in the South, redears will feed on snails and other mollusks. Redears generally prefer deeper water than other sunfishes and are not usually found near shorelines.

BLACK CRAPPIE The non-native black crappie has been stocked in reservoirs, and especially in smaller lakes and ponds. Black crappie have a dark green, uniform speckled coloration with no vertical barring. There are seven or eight spines in the dorsal fin. Black crappie prefer clear lakes or ponds and are not as prone to overpopulating as white crappie. April and May are best months to catch black crappie, and jigs, minnows, and small spinners are best baits.

WHITE CRAPPIE The native white crappie is one of the most abundant and popular sportfish in Kansas. Vertical barring evident in the speckled coloration on white crappie distinguish them from black crappie. White crappie have six spines in the spiny dorsal fin, while black crappie have seven or eight. White crappie are generally found in large schools. April and May are the best months to catch white crappie, and best baits include minnows, jigs and small spinners. PADDLEFISH The unusual paddlefish is found in a few of the larger rivers of eastern Kansas, common only in the spring when they move upstream to spawn. They feed on plankton, and the only way to catch them is snagging. A special snagging season has been established on a few streams during the spring migration. Anglers use heavy tackle and hooks tied specifically for snagging. Paddlefish are long and thick bodied. They are blue in color with white bellies. They have a long snout, which readily identifies the fish from other species. Weights of over 100 pounds have been reported but 30 to 50 are more common. WALLEYE Stocked in many Kansas reservoirs, the walleye is a member of the perch family. The walleye is thick-bodied and brown/black and yellow in color with indistinct blotches on the sides, not extending below the lateral line. The spiny dorsal fin has indistinct streaks or blotches with a distinct dark blotch at its rear base. The cheekplate is smooth with few scales. April, May and early June are the best months to catch them. Anglers troll crankbaits or drift jigs with live bait to catch these fish. SAUGER Sauger are common in the Missouri River, and some may have migrated to the Kansas River from the Missouri. The sauger is thin-bodied and brown/black and yellow in color, with distinct blotches on the sides extending below the lateral line. The spiny dorsal fin is colorless with distinct circular black spots throughout. Their cheekplates are rough with few scales. Drifting jigs or spinner rigs tipped with bait over main-lake points and mudflats is a popular angling technique with these fish. SAUGEYE The saugeye is a hybrid of a sauger and walleye and was first stocked in Kansas in 1990. Like other hybrids, the saugeye is hardy and grows fast.The saugeye is thick- bodied and brown/black and yellow in color, with distinct blotches on the sides extending below the lateral line. The spiny dorsal has distinct streaks, often with one or two rows of spots at the base along with a dark blotch at the rear base of the fin. It’s cheekplate is rough with scales. Saugeye are often caught drifting flats and main- lake points with jig-night crawler combinations and trolling crankbaits.

page 36 FISH IDENTIFICATION GUIDE

NORTHERN PIKE The northern pike is a rare introduced species. It was stocked in the late 1960s as a means of controlling panfish. However, few Kansas waters provide the northern with suitable habitat. The northern pike prefers clear, weedy water. They are long and thick bodied. Occasionally, smaller lakes are stocked with northern pike to help control populations of undesirable fish, as well as provide anglers with an exciting opportunity.

BIGMOUTH BUFFALO The bigmouth buffalo is native to the larger rivers of eastern Kansas, and has become abundant in many reservoirs. The buffalo feeds on plankton and is considered a rough fish. With an angled sucker mouth, the buffalo doesn’t feed on the bottom. At one time, it was an important commercial fish, and is still taken by commercial netters for fish markets. The buffalo prefers deep, still pools and can become quite numerous in oxbows and reservoirs.

COMMON CARP The common carp was brought to the U.S. from Asia in the late 19th century. Originally stocked for a sportfish, the adaptable carp was soon considered a nuisance. Carp are common in nearly all waters in Kansas. They feed mostly on invertebrates and green plant material. Anglers use dough baits or corn to catch carp, and they fight hard. Intermuscular bones make the meat less desirable, but it has many fans who have learned to prepare it properly.

DRUM The drum is common in eastern Kansas rivers and streams and has adapted well to reservoirs. Also called sheepshead, the drum emits a grunting, or drumming, noise with special muscles that vibrate against the swim bladder. Jigs, jigs tipped with night crawlers, and crankbaits will catch drum, although a gob of worms stillfished might be the best technique. Although defined as a nonsport fish, their meat is white and tasty.

GRASS CARP The grass carp is an introduced species brought from Asia. The grass carp’s diet is entirely vegetation, and it has been stocked to control aquatic vegetation. Grass carp get big and are extremely powerful swimmers. Anglers have discovered they can be caught on small flies imitating bits of vegetation, and hooking a large grass carp can be a wild experience. Considered a nonsport fish, grass carp are legal bowfishing quarry.

RAINBOW/BROWN TROUT Trout provide a winter fishery where they are stocked. Populations are maintained through winter stocking, and generally most of the stocked fish are caught during the Nov. 1 – April 15 season. Anglers are required to have a trout stamp in addition to the required licenses. A variety of methods are popular, from fly tackle or spinners to worms and PowerBait fished on the bottom.

page 37 FISH IDENTIFICATION GUIDE

LONGNOSE GAR The longnose gar is native to most of the rivers in the eastern half of Kansas and is the most abundant and largest of the three gar species. It is greenish in color with dark spots on its sides and fins and can be distinguished by its long, narrow snout, which is more than twice as long as the distance between the edge of the eye and the back of the head. The bony mouth makes it almost impossible to hook, so anglers use spinners with nylon thread instead of hooks. The nylon tangles in the fine teeth that line the jaws.

SHORTNOSE GAR The shortnose gar has jaws less than twice the length of its head and has spots on its fins but differs from the spotted gar by the absence of spots on its head. The shortnose gar is common only in the larger rivers of eastern Kansas. Most shortnose gar are less than 24 inches long.

SPOTTED GAR The spotted gar has jaws less than twice the length of its head and is spotted with dark, round spots on the top and sides of its head. Most spotted gar are less than 30 inches long. Like other gars, it is covered with a tough armor of thick, heavy scales. It may be confined to the lower Neosho basin where it prefers still pools.

PALLID STURGEON The pallid sturgeon is native to the Missouri and Mississippi River drainages and are present in the Kansas River. The largest one documented in Kansas was over 40 inches long. It is listed as an endangered species in Kansas and can be distinguished from

Four subtle lobes the more common shovelnose sturgeon in that the four fringed barbels are not in a lower lip Base of barbels straight line across the snout, and the belly is usually scaleless. The dorsal fin has 37- form crescent line SOME pallids have 43 rays and the anal fin has 24-28 rays. Young pallid sturgeon that are stocked into the colored scientific markers injected into bottom side Missouri River may have florescent-colored tags on the underside of the snout.

F.I.S.H.: ACCESS TO PRIVATE PROPERTY

The Fishing Impoundments and Stream Habitat (F.I.S.H.) program has gained popularity with landowners and anglers alike. The program enrolled 1,900 acres of ponds and more than 70 miles of streams on private land for public fishing access. The program includes ponds and lakes ranging in size from 1 acre to more than 70 acres, as well as access to stream reaches formerly unavailable to the public. The F.I.S.H. sites are open to public access from March 1 through October 31. (Some are open year- round.) Impounded FISH waters have a creel limit of two channel catfish, a creel limit of two largemouth bass, and an 18-inch minimum length limit on largemouth bass. Otherwise, all Kansas fishing regulations and statewide creel limits apply. It’s especially important for anglers using the sites to respect and follow the rules that apply on F.I.S.H. properties. You do not need to contact the landowner for permission on F.I.S.H. waters. Anglers who want more information should contact the nearest regional KDWPT office or the department’s Pratt Operations Office at (620) 672-5911 for a Kansas Fishing Atlas. That information is also available on the KDWPT web site, ksoutdoors.com. Landowners who are interested in enrolling waters in the program should also phone the nearest regional KDWPT office or the Pratt Operations Office. F.I.S.H.
