If you're chasing hybrid striped bass in Kansas, consider a trip to Russell Springs. While not as well-known as some of the larger reservoirs in the state, the smaller lakes and ponds around Russell Springs can hold some surprisingly hefty hybrids. The key here is finding the baitfish – shad are their primary forage. Focus on areas with submerged structure or points where the wind is blowing in, concentrating the bait. Spring and fall are prime times, as the hybrids are actively feeding to either bulk up after the spawn or prepare for winter. A local tip: many of these smaller bodies of water have limited access, so scout around for county road crossings or public access points before you head out. Also, be aware that water levels can fluctuate, impacting fish concentration and accessibility.
