Hybrid Striped Bass
While not as widely known as some other California locations, Arcata does offer some limited opportunities for hybrid striped bass in certain freshwater impoundments. These fish are typically stocked, so their presence can vary from year to year depending on stocking programs. Your best bet is to check with local bait and tackle shops for the most current information on where they've been recently stocked. Spring and fall are generally the most productive times to target these hybrids, as they tend to school up and actively feed during these periods. Focus on areas with current or structure, such as points, submerged humps, or near the dam. A local tactic is to use live bait like shiners or threadfin shad, but artificial lures like swimbaits and crankbaits can also be effective. Keep in mind that hybrid striped bass can be aggressive fighters, so be sure to use appropriate gear and be prepared for a good battle.
