Creeks from shore around Buffalo?

[Guest]

Hi.
Moving to Buffalo in Feb, and my son & I like to fish creeks from shore. Anybody got any spots to share? I'm thinkin' 20 minutes or less from downtown.

Thanks,

ROBERT C welcome to the area i have lived in the area all my life so i can give you a couple of ideas.the first would be the channel between buffalo and mink lake in the spring to early summer sunfish crappies and alot of nice bass were caught there well into the summer, depends on water level.the crow river is another one especially for fishing catfish although alot of walleyes are caught also. not a real lot in the area for creek fishing but lots of offshore areas to fish in the area. there are alot more spots but this is getting kind of long any more ? i would be happy to help. good fishing

Thanks Swampman!
I'm looking forward to learning the waters around that area.
I hit that channel between Mink & Buffalo last spring - super early, though. Bust. Does that golf course's runoff affect that channel? Each time I've looked at it it's been pea soup, but I've only looked at it 2 or 3 times.
Also, what roads to get at the Crow?
Thanks,

ROBERTC the runoff from the golf course would have a minimal effect .mill creek enters buffalo on the nw side and that has an effect in spring runoff and high rains,but the main factor is when high water on the crow river backs over the dam in deer lake and then into buffalo and mink lake. there are lots of spots to fish off the crow.try hwy 14 east of town south toward delano 2 bridges there. the one furthest to the south has a nice pool right next to the road.
