Fishing near Wichita, Kansas

Wichita, Kansas, sits in Sedgwick County. Everything worth a rod sits outside the town line. On the doorstep and beyond: Horseshoe Lake sits 4.6 miles from the centre to the north-west, Beech Lake sits 6.3 miles from the centre, Santa Fe Lake sits 15 miles from the centre to the east, Lake Afton sits 17 miles from the centre and Augusta Lake sits 20 miles from the centre to the east. On Beech Lake the old creek line under the surface is the feature to find. In milder years the surface stays open. It is not guaranteed from one year to the next. Held water is what the area offers. Fish tight rather than far on all of these. The nearest of them, Horseshoe Lake, covers about 7 acres. Horseshoe Lake has mapped parking, which saves a long carry. Sedgwick County records cover bluegill, green sunfish and flathead catfish. Rules here are Kansas rules, whatever the water looks like....
