    Figure 6.2: Watersheds (HUC 10) and Sub‐Watersheds (HUC 12) of the Kickapoo River Region. 6‐2 1. OVERVIEW a) Physical Environment This region encompasses both the Kickapoo and La Crosse rivers with a long, large upland ridge running from Norwalk in La Crosse County, south‐southwest to Eastman in Crawford County. On either side of this ridge are numerous narrow hills and valleys that are home to countless headwater creeks. Fed by springs and seeps, these cold waters form some of the most popular trout angling streams in the Driftless Area. Much of the region is covered with deep loess deposits over bedrock (primarily dolostone, sandstone or shale). Soils are primarily silt loams. The region is home to many dry and wet cliffs. The valleys contain stream terraces and floodplains. Streams are high gradient with fast water flow in the headwaters transitioning to meandering low gradient segments as they move toward the Kickapoo and Mississippi Rivers. Groundwater is recharged directly through precipitation. This area has no natural lakes. Figure 6.3: Land cover of the Kickapoo River Region. b) Land Cover and Use The region’s most common land cover is upland forest which blankets most of the hillsides. Crop land is restricted to the uplands and valley floors. The broad, high ridge around Westby and Viroqua is the largest block of upland farmland in the region. The La Crosse River valley floor is also heavily farmed. Very little of the region is prime farmland. c) Terrestrial Habitats This region is especially noteworthy for its current opportunities for the management of big block forests and dry prairie/oak openings near the Mississippi and Kickapoo rivers as well as oak barrens and southern mesic forest in portions of Monroe County.

The Crooked River flows are coming down (maybe just temporarily!?!); East Lake and Hosmer are open now too. The big salmonflies should be coming out on the lower Deschutes River about now and that makes it one of the premier rivers of choice at this time. If the rivers get really crowded, don't forget the lakes. We have an abundance of opportunities to fish stillwater in our area. If you went to Denny Rickards' program at last month's meeting, you heard him say that you can't learn to fish from a book - you need to put the hours in on the water. That's good advice - go fishing more! I love this time of the year! June also brings us to the BC trip. There are so many different lakes to explore within 50 miles of our camp that you could fish a different lake each day of our 8 days of fishing - for many years! If you are planning to go on the trip, and haven't talked with Gordon Chandler yet, you must do so as quickly as possible! You also need to get your money in to the treasurer before the trip.

  • Stripers on the Fly Eisenhower State Park, Lake Texoma Denison, TX – August 20 – 22, 2010
    twff.net August 2010 8 Next Outing: Updated Info! Stripers on the Fly Eisenhower State Park, Lake Texoma Denison, TX – August 20 – 22, 2010 TWFF is gearing up to go another round with the stripers behind the dam at Eisenhower State Park. Our last visit there was December 2008 and the stripers were nowhere to be found. ARGHHHH!!!! After a busy 2009 summer of some of the local TWFFers catching record numbers of stripers, we are bringing the club back for another round of striper fishing; some scores just beg to be settled and this is one of them! Our outing headquarters will be at Eisenhower State Park and we will be renting the Recreation Cen- ter for our headquarters. Admittance to the park is free so be sure and tell them you are a member of Texas Women Fly Fishers when you enter the park. Anyone arriving early on Friday afternoon can join us at the Rec Center for some casting lessons. We should be there by noon on Friday. We’ve had some exciting developments about our Texoma outing since our June newsletter. We had mentioned that a notorious group of women fishers had been invited to join us at the outing and they have accepted our invitation. Joining us at Texoma will be the Dallas Bass’n Gals, a North Texas group of tournament fishing lady anglers. This group of lady anglers has been together since 1984 and they fish 9 tournaments a year. You can find more information about the group at their website: http://www.fishingworld.com/DallasBassNGals/.

    KICKAPOO RIVER WATERSHED ASSESSMENT 2000 TO 2010 VALLEY STEWARDSHIP NETWORK SARAH GRAINGER, M.A.SC. DECEMBER 2011 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This Kickapoo River Watershed Assessment has been created by the Valley Stewardship Network (VSN) to provide a critical look at the health of the watershed based on surface water data. Surface water quality data, while one of many components used to assess the health of a watershed, is among the most informative. Thanks to the extraordinary commitment of citizen monitors VSN has provided a quantity of surface water quality data in the Kickapoo River Watershed that compares to that of the regulatory agencies. This assessment will review both Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) and VSN data since 2000. Data was analyzed for each watershed, waterbody and station. The Kickapoo watershed was divided into five smaller watersheds as defined by the WDNR; Upper, Middle and Lower Kickapoo Watersheds, West Fork of the Kickapoo Watershed and Reads and Tainter Watershed. For the purpose of this assessment, data was separated into six assessment categories; temperature, core, nutrients, macroinvertebrate, bacteriological and chemical. Data was assessed using WDNR and US Environmental Protection Agency water quality limits and recommendations. In most cases the data available was not extensive enough for a conclusive determination. As such the data was used to provide an indication of the watershed health. The water quality data shows varying watershed health conditions. Some data shows no degradation, while other data showed evidence of human impact. Only a few streams had values that could be considered impaired by WDNR classification system. Most streams showed temperature ranges that could be classify it as a cold stream.
