Buck Lake is a lake in Washington, near Kitsap County.
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.
Buck Lake in Kitsap County is a lake in Washington and covers about 18.6 acres.
Buck Lake is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover.
Fish listed for Buck Lake include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Coastal Cutthroat Trout, Largemouth Bass, and Pumpkinseed.
During a return to the best bank near scattered wood before changing depth, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During the start of a weather change near a windblown shore with a slow lure, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a cool spring morning near a clean gravel patch before changing areas, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During a calm morning near the first break before changing areas, Brook Trout, Cutthroat Trout, and Rainbow Trout have also been stocked here; that proves fish were released, but it does not promise that they are still common or easy to catch.
During a steady fall day near a shaded bank with stable weather, start where two things meet: weeds and open water, rock and mud, a point and a drop, or clear water and dirty water; fish that edge at more than one depth before leaving it.
While using one check of the nearest drop near the edge of deeper water before changing depth, shallow water is worth a careful look in spring and again during fall; bright summer days favor shade, weeds, or deeper breaks; under ice, a small depth change can be more useful than a long move.
During a cool spring morning near the edge of deeper water after warm rain, a light spinning rod, thin line, a few small spoons, inline spinners, and jigs cover the listed trout; carry one slightly heavier setup when other fish or windy water call for more control.
During a short evening pass near a narrow cove where food is present, record the wind, water color, depth beside useful cover, and cover after a bite; those four notes are more useful on the next trip than a long list of spots that did not produce.
