There is no general Kansas 3-day fishing license in the state fee schedule. Nonresidents age 16 or older can cover a three-day trip with the $25 five-day fishing license. Compare the one-day option if you will fish on fewer days.

| Option | Base total |

Choose the start date that covers the trip and check any transaction, agent or payment charges before paying. See KDWP’s fishing fees and purchase charges.
Choose the Term That Covers Your Actual Dates
- List the dates you will fish.
- For one or two fishing dates, compare the relevant daily products at checkout.
- For three consecutive fishing dates, the $25 five-day visitor option costs $5 less than three one-day licenses at the posted base fees.
Check your residency and whether you need a permit for trout or a specific water. Rules for private waters and exemptions are separate.
Check Water Rules Before Fishing
Use KDWP’s fishing regulations for license, trout permit and local rules. For a comparison with another state’s actual three-day product, see Arkansas’s three-day license guide.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can a visitor buy a Kansas three-day fishing license?
KDWP lists a $25 nonresident five-day product that can cover a three-day trip. It does not list a general three-day fishing product.
Is the $25 price the full checkout total?
It is the published base fee. KDWP describes separate charges that can vary by buying method.
Does the five-day license replace a trout permit?
Check KDWP’s species and water requirements. A trout permit can apply separately from the general fishing license.
