Because of the shallow water here, topwater lures are popular when the weeds thicken in summer. Quality panfish are aggressive year-round.

      How can you troll in all that much? You sure you don't mean Puckaway?

      is that a serious question? Walleyes have always been in Buffalo since the fish ladder now there is a decent population special way to fish for them though very ...more tricky Lake

      When was the last time walleyes were in Buffalo?

    was looking to see if some of you more serious walleye fisherman would like to start a little club before Buffalo Lake.. I have been chasing walleye almost my whole ...more life ...i practice a solid catch and release policy basically same as the slot limits on the Wisconsin River I have seen increased activity and almost doubled from last year on this section I don't think we'll have a problem with a getting fished out due to the weeds and the average fisherman might find it a bit walleyes up here but I believe there is a substantial population right now and it's just going to get better so let's form a club and keep it safe.... my cell phone number is 608-369-1899 and my Gmail if you prefer email is glaser527@gmail .i am off work at 3:30 everyday give me a shout after that time and well talk on how to set this up etc. I think this would benefit this Lake a whole lot for our future Generations and I'm sure the businesses would appreciate some extra income!! tight lines

    Fishing for pike, hooked into this hog!!!

    7 lb. 8 oz. 23 in. Largemouth Bass with a Sucker

      Buffalo is terrible with weeds. VERY hard to motor ANYWHERE! Motor sounded overheating alarm 3 times in a 2 hour attempt to fish. Not well managed. Sad. It has ...more been MUCH better in years past. :(

      Patrick, we need more anglers like yourself.
      That's using your head and heart! Great job!

      Ray, this fish was released. I was very careful with it. I don't eat largemouth, especially a fish this big and old. Fairly rare to see them this big this far ...more north on public water. When I do keep fish (usually walleye or pike) I never keep the larger ones, smaller eating size is what I believe you should keep. I considered a mount due to the rarity of this beast but even then I would get a replica. Would never kill it. Especially since I believe this was a pre-spawn female.
