Hybrid Striped Bass
Targeting hybrid striped bass near Natural Dam, Arkansas, presents a unique angling challenge. These fish are stocked in some of the larger reservoirs and rivers in the region, and their presence in the Illinois River watershed is growing. Spring and fall are the peak seasons, as the hybrids follow shad schools and become more active in cooler water temperatures. Look for areas with current, such as below dams or in river bends. Large swimbaits, crankbaits, and live shad are all effective lures. A local tip: trolling these lures in the main river channel can be a productive way to cover water and locate schools of hybrids. Be aware that hybrid striped bass are strong fighters, so use appropriate tackle. The hybrid striped bass population is still developing, so check local stocking reports and fishing regulations before you go. They offer a thrilling fight and are a welcome addition to the fishery.
