- A Special Regulation Fishery -
 
Buffalo Creek is supported by several natural, cold-water springs that keep temperatures comfortable year round for its population of brown, rainbow, and brook trout. As a Special Regulation fishery, anglers may only harvest two fish per day above the length of 16”. The state stocks this stream annually and the abundance of natural food in the stream leads to some outstanding growth rates for resident trout. While typical trout caught range from 10-14”, larger fish are not uncommon and trophy fish over 20” are always a possibility. Angling pressure can be high on this small stream during peak season and the fishing can be challenging. However, persistence is usually rewarded especially for those who are willing to ply the less-pressured sections of the stream.

Directions

From Lexington, drive Route 251 7.1 miles south to a left onto Bluegrass Trail. In .25 miles look for the large brown Special Regulation VDGIF sign on the left. The fishing area extends to the Jerry Hines Memorial Bridge. 

The second fishing area is at the confluence of North and South Buffalo Creek branches. From the first fishing area, continue 1.5 miles down Bluegrass Trail to the intersection with Route 611 and another large brown VDGIF sign. This fishing area extends downstream for almost a mile. Respect private property.
