Fishing At Bucks Lake In Northern CA

AKA: Upper & Lower Bucks Lake

Fishing for rainbow trout, brook trout, brown trout, lake trout and kokanee salmon at Bucks Lake in California.

Terrific trout and kokanee fishing draws anglers from near and far to Bucks Lake, a 1,800 acre lake in the north central part of California, 50 miles west of Chico. Big lake trout (Mackinaw over 16 pounds), plentiful rainbow, brook and brown trout, and kokanee salmon thrive in the cool, clear water of this fertile fishery. The lake has seventeen miles of shoreline, much of which is private property, but there is still plenty of room at numerous places around the lake for fishing from the bank. Boating access is via boat launch ramps at Sandy Point Day Use Area, Bucks Lake Marina, Lower Bucks Campground, Bucks Lakeshore Resort and Haskins Valley Family Campground.
