Big Dick Lake is known for its good fishing, with large numbers of northern pike, crappies, Large mouth bass, blue gills, and perch, although for the latter two "the fish are small."[3] In addition to those mentioned, there are Brown Bullhead.[4] As well as those species, "fish species in the lake include Golden Shiner, Hybrid Sunfish and White Sucker."[5]
The Lake has a wide range of plants growing "immersed", "emergent", and in a "wetland".[6] Immersed plants include Najas flexilis (Bushy Pondweed), Potamogeton praelongus (White-stemmed Pondweed), and Utricularia vulgaris (Greater bladderwort).[6] "Emergent Plants (Plants with leaves extending above the water surface)" include Equisetum fluviatile (Water horsetail), Sagittaria latifolia (Broad-leaved Arrowhead), and Typha latifolia (Broad-leaved cat-tail).[6]
