Looking for some hard-fighting hybrid striped bass in Kansas? Ellsworth offers access to Wilson Lake, a prime location for these aggressive fish. Wilson Lake is stocked with hybrids, and they thrive in its open waters. The best time to target them is during the spring and fall when water temperatures are cooler. Hybrids are known for their schooling behavior, so once you find one, you're likely to find more. Trolling crankbaits or casting swimbaits in open water are effective techniques. Look for areas with current or wind action, as this often concentrates baitfish and, in turn, the hybrids. A local tip: check the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks (KDWP) stocking reports to see when and where hybrids were last released. Also, pay attention to bird activity; diving birds often indicate the presence of baitfish schools, which hybrids will be following. Be prepared for a good fight; these fish are powerful!
