Buck pond area
« on: Dec 27, 2022, 06:37 PM »
Hey guys looking to fish the buck pond area this weekend. I see Lake Kushaqua has walleye was wondering if they are common to catch out of there or not and also how is fishing on buck pond?

I'm only familiar with the Buck Pond in Monroe County out near Braddocks Bay
Look for the beer flag, that's where i'm at

I've fished kush quite a few times and never was a mw to fund much or anything through the ice. A few pike in the summer. Beautiful place though. My buddy has a camp on rainbow and we've caught some nice eyes there but few and far between. Lots of nice bass though.

Are any of the lakes there decent for walleye or is it not worth targeting them up there

Union Falls and Franklin Fall are the best bets. Both are tough in the winter but can give up good numbers in summer. Not saying you can't/won't catch some but it might take some time to find them.

There is definatly no walleye in kush, they actaully have been a lost cause in rainbow lake even. They found the oxygen levels are to low to support life in the deep parts of the lake. Franklin and union have them but in franklin all the ones you catch that are legal you cant eat anyway. Really not worth walleye fishing up here. With that being said the ice has gone to crap for us. Going to need some cold for it to be safe again.
