Fishing

The Kickapoo River between Ontario and Gays Mills has a total of 46 fish species, including an abundance of brown trout. This stretch of river has been classified as a Class II trout stream. Trout use this section of river for food and shelter, but likely spawn in tributary streams. Billings Creek, a tributary of the Kickapoo River, has a population of brown trout.
