Hybrid Striped Bass
Hybrid striped bass, a cross between striped bass and white bass, offer excellent sport fishing opportunities near Smith Center. These fish are stocked in several Kansas reservoirs, providing a thrilling experience for anglers. Glen Elder Reservoir, being one of the larger bodies of water in the region, is a likely candidate. Hybrids are known for their aggressive feeding habits and strong fighting ability. The best times to target them are spring and fall, when water temperatures are moderate. Look for them schooling near points, submerged humps, and around the dam. Trolling crankbaits or casting swimbaits are effective methods. Live bait, such as shad or shiners, can also be productive, especially when fished near the bottom. Be sure to have a sturdy rod and reel, as these fish can put up a serious battle. Check with local bait shops for the most up-to-date information on hybrid striper activity and stocking reports.
