P lumas County’s Bucks Lake, the centerpiece of recreation in Central Plumas County, is 17 miles south-west of Quincy, past the small community of Meadow Valley. This beautiful, semi-isolated destina- tion offers year-round enjoyment at an elevation of 5,200 feet. With 17 miles of shoreline, sandy beaches and tall pines, Bucks Lake attracts fishermen, campers, hikers and water sports enthusiasts in the temperate months, and snowmobilers and snowshoe explorers in the winter. Fishing is great for rainbow, brook and brown trout, kokanee salmon and trophy mackinaw. Water-skiing and jet-skiing, swimming, boating, nine campgrounds and a marina are also featured at the lake. If you need a place to stay at Bucks Lake and camping isn’t your cup of tea, Bucks Lake Lodge has got you covered. The lodge features 11 European housekeeping cabins. These are cozy, rustic cabins that house from 2-10 people. They have furnished kitchens and are open all year. For more information or to book your cabin give Bucks Lake Lodge a call at (530) 283-2262. Tip Your Apex? A pex Lures are deadly on trout, landlocked kings and kokanee, that’s no secret. But what many anglers don’t realize is that at times dressing your Apex with bait can be the extra stimulus that makes fish strike. Experienced trout anglers often dress their Apex Lures with a small piece of worm threaded on the hook. For kings a thin strip of anchovy skin works great. And of course, if ‘kokes are the target you’ll want to tip the lure with either shoepeg corn or a tiny piece of canned pink “salad” shrimp. When tipping be sure to check the action of your lure in the water to ensure that you haven’t overwhelmed the lure action by using a piece of bait that is too large. If you find the action impaired de- crease the size of the bait until the action is restored and hang on because hard strikes will follow!
