Hybrid Striped Bass
If you're chasing hybrid striped bass, Hartford, Kentucky, may not be the first place that comes to mind, but Rough River Lake, just a short drive away, supports a decent population. These hard-fighting fish are stocked to provide exciting sport fishing. Trolling crankbaits or casting swimbaits in open water are popular techniques. Look for hybrids near the dam, in the main lake channel, and around points. Spring and fall are typically the most productive times, as the water temperatures are more favorable. Early morning and late evening hours often produce the best results. Check with local bait shops for up-to-date information on stocking and fishing reports. A Kentucky fishing license is required, and there may be specific regulations regarding size and creel limits for hybrid striped bass on Rough River Lake.
