Those who fish at the county lakes need a state license and Wyandotte County permit, with some exceptions.
Those who are 15 and younger do not need a state license or county permit.
Those who are 16-64 years old need a state license and Wyandotte County permit.
Those who are 65-74 years old need only a state license.
