Various

Hybrid striped bass, also known as wipers, aren't as common in the immediate vicinity of Arlington, Kansas, but Cheney Reservoir (a bit of a drive) is a reliable place to target them. These hard-fighting fish are stocked to create a sport fishery. Wipers are aggressive predators and can be caught using a variety of methods. Trolling crankbaits or casting swimbaits are popular techniques. Look for them near points, humps, and other structure. Spring and fall are typically the best times to fish for wipers, as they are actively feeding in cooler water temperatures. A local tip: Pay attention to bird activity; gulls and terns often indicate where wipers are chasing schools of baitfish. Also, be aware of the wind conditions on Cheney Reservoir, as it can get quite windy and choppy. The wipers in Cheney can reach impressive sizes, with fish over 10 pounds being caught regularly.
