There's an argument to both sides of this, unfortunately there is one regulation that kills it all in Kansas. "it is illegal to transport any live fish from.....". Yes, I've done it. Will probably do it again. Be careful how you approach stocking your forage pond.
If you have a private location you can access what fish you are trying to get your hands on, as-in private property that a creek runs through, you are less likely to be a target as opposed to pulling fish/trapping fish at a public access point.
Rod, you are also in a "Topeka shiner" target area, ID carefully for obvious reasons..:-))
However.. you can obtain a bait dealer permit and this opens a few doors for you.
