Hybrid Striped Bass
While San Mateo isn't traditionally known for hybrid striped bass, there are limited opportunities in impoundments connected to the Crystal Springs Reservoir system. These fish are typically stocked, so their presence depends on California Department of Fish and Wildlife programs. Spring and fall, when water temperatures are moderate, are your best bet. Hybrids are aggressive feeders, so try casting crankbaits, swimbaits, or topwater lures in areas with current or near points. A key to success is finding the baitfish; hybrids will follow their food source. A local tip: check recent stocking reports from the CDFW to see if any local waters have received hybrid striped bass. Be aware that access to certain areas around the reservoirs might be restricted, so confirm regulations before heading out. Because the fishery relies on stocking, the size and abundance of hybrids can vary from year to year.
