Hybrid Striped Bass
Targeting hybrid striped bass around Calico Rock, Arkansas, offers a unique freshwater experience. The White River, with its cool, oxygenated waters released from Bull Shoals Dam, creates ideal conditions for these hard-fighting fish. Spring and fall are prime times, as the hybrids follow shad schools migrating upstream. Focus your efforts around points, submerged timber, and near the dam itself. Live shad are the go-to bait, but you can also have success with crankbaits and swimbaits that mimic their forage. Be aware of generation schedules from the dam, as water levels can fluctuate rapidly. Public access is available at several points along the river, including boat ramps in and around Calico Rock. The hybrids in this section of the White River are known for their aggressive strikes and powerful runs, making for an exciting day on the water. Consider hiring a local guide for the best chance of success, as they can provide up-to-date information on fish location and effective techniques.
