Fish species in Buckhorn Reservoir

Official stocking history

Stocking records show that the following fish or strains were stocked here. A historical stocking does not by itself prove that a self-sustaining population remains today.

Buckhorn Reservoir is a reservoir in Lassen County, California and covers about 152.8 acres, reaches about 47.4 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 2,000 acre-feet.

A point, weed edge, or small drop is more important than simply covering the whole shoreline; check the clean side of wind, then keep line light around small clear-water fish. Deep water at Buckhorn Reservoir gives fish room to move away from shore as summer heat and bright light build.
