Tribal Assistance

Catfish for the Kickapoo Nation

Surveys of six small ponds located on tribal lands indicated the Kickapoo Nation's recreational fisheries could use some help. Tishomingo NFH raises and stocks the fish needed by the Tribe and OKFWCO helped the Tribe develop a management plan that will direct the stockings. Our mutual goal is to provide sustainable catfish populations for youth fishing events sponsored by the Tribe.

The mission of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is working with
others to conserve, protect, and enhance fish, wildlife, plants and
their habitats for the continuing benefit of the American people.
