Title: Re: Kickapoo River Trip Post by Bannock on Aug 10th, 2004 at 5:34pm
Be warned that this a ... ummmmm ... very popular river (read "party river"). Once the air temp warms on a Saturday (perhaps 10:00) the inexperienced masses hit the river and turn every sand bar into a party. I tell you this for two reasons: 1) get off early so you are ahead of the craziness, and 2) Friday night campsites in the immediate area may be the same way (though I don't know because I have never camped there on a Friday night).
One of the outfitters has a campground right along the river. I'm not sure but I think it is "Mr Duck" outfitters. I've never stayed there so I can't recommend it. The outfitter I used for the shuttle was "Titanic". Nice folks, but no campground. They recommend Brush Creek Campground, S190 Opal Road, Ontario, Wisconsin, 608-337-4344. Again, I have not stayed there. As far as fishing, I have seen anglers fishing days other than weekends. They told me there are trout. I have never seen an angler between Ontario and Bridge 5 on a Saturday. Personally I wouldn't bother, but then again, I have never fished it. Sorry I couldn't be more help. |
