Hybrid Striped Bass
Hybrid striped bass, a cross between striped bass and white bass, offer thrilling fishing opportunities near Maxwell, New Mexico. Eagle Nest Lake, though better known for trout, is sometimes stocked with these hard-fighting fish. Spring and fall are ideal times to target hybrids, as they school up and actively feed. Trolling with crankbaits or casting swimbaits near points and drop-offs can be very effective. Look for areas where baitfish are concentrated. A local tip: use your electronics to locate schools of hybrids, and be prepared for a blistering fight once you hook one. These fish are known for their powerful runs and aerial displays. Hybrid stripers tend to be opportunistic feeders, so a variety of lures and bait presentations can work. Check with the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish for stocking schedules and any specific regulations regarding hybrid striped bass.
