Hybrid Striped Bass
Hybrid striped bass, a hard-fighting cousin of the striped bass, are a thrilling target near Valley City, ND. Lake Ashtabula, formed by the Baldhill Dam on the Sheyenne River, is your best bet. Hybrids thrive in this type of reservoir environment. The key to success is finding baitfish schools – shad are a primary food source. Look for surface activity early and late in the day, or use your electronics to locate schools deeper down. Trolling crankbaits or casting swimbaits near these schools is often effective. Spring and fall are peak seasons when water temperatures are moderate. Local tip: Baldhill Dam can create current, so be aware of flow conditions if you're fishing near the dam. Also, pay attention to the wind, as it can pick up quickly on the open water. The hybrids in Ashtabula are known for their aggressive strikes and strong runs, making for an exciting fishing experience.
