For bass in Buker, use a tube, Ned rig or small crankbait on rock for smallmouth, and fish weeds, wood and shade with a spinnerbait, jig or Texas-rigged worm for largemouth.

Pike, Pickerel and Muskellunge

For pike, pickerel or muskellunge in Buker, throw a small spoon or flashy swimbait along weeds for chain pickerel.

Trout

For trout in Buker, try a small spoon, inline spinner, streamer or worm near cool incoming water for brook trout, and use a small minnow plug, spoon or streamer in cool water for brown trout.

Salmon, Lake Trout and Other Deep-Water Fish

For deep-water fish in Buker, fish a jig or natural bait on the bottom in cold water or after dark for cusk and use a small jig, minnow or worm when white perch gather over deep flats and drop-offs.

A Simple Fishing Plan for Buker Pond

When you first fish Buker, check one quiet cove, one rocky or firm point and the nearby deep water with a moving lure, then use a jig or worm where you find fish.

When to Fish Buker Pond

Spring on Buker is a good time to check warm coves and incoming water, and summer is a good time to fish shade, weeds and the first drop into deeper water. Fall on Buker can bring fish back to windy points and banks, while winter calls for smaller baits fished slowly.
