Hello,

Buck Creek is a cold-water trout stream.  I have fished it.  My observation
at the time was that it was probably impacted by chronic pollution from
sources in the watershed.  Great physical habitat, but poor selection of
invertebrates; lots of filamentous algae; poor fishing except in the pools
where they regularly dump put-and-take fish.
