Hybrid Striped Bass
Looking for a hard-fighting freshwater fish in central Kansas? Great Bend offers some excellent hybrid striped bass action in its reservoirs and the Arkansas River. These fish are stocked in several locations and provide exciting angling opportunities. The best time to target wipers (as they're often called) is during the spring and fall months when water temperatures are moderate and the fish are actively feeding. Look for them near points, submerged structures, and areas with strong current. Anglers often have success trolling crankbaits or casting swimbaits and topwater lures. A local tip: check the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks fishing reports for recent stocking information and specific locations that are producing well. Access to the Arkansas River is available at several public access points around Great Bend, but be mindful of fluctuating water levels, especially after heavy rains. These fish fight hard, so be sure to bring appropriately stout tackle.
