Kansas Fishing License vs. Combo License
The Kansas hunting fishing license combo at $47.50 covers both activities. If you buy fishing ($27.50) + hunting ($27.50) separately, you pay $55 — so the combo saves you $7.50. Worth it if you plan to hunt Kansas pheasant, quail, or deer too.
Stamp Requirements
Kansas does not require a separate trout stamp — all species are covered by the base fishing license. The state habitat stamp is included in the license fee. This simplifies things compared to states like Colorado or West Virginia which require additional trout stamps.
