Hybrid Striped Bass
Just outside Velva, North Dakota, lies an opportunity for thrilling hybrid striped bass action at Lake Darling (part of the Souris River). These hard-fighting fish are stocked and thrive in the reservoir's open waters. Anglers often target them with trolling techniques using crankbaits or live bait rigs. Spring and early summer are particularly productive as the hybrids are actively feeding after the ice melt. Fall can also be good as they bulk up before winter. A key to success here is locating the schools of baitfish, as the hybrids won't be far behind. Local anglers often use their electronics to find these concentrations. Be mindful of the wind; Lake Darling can be exposed and prone to strong gusts. There are several boat ramps available, but it's always a good idea to check their condition before heading out, especially after periods of heavy rain or drawdown.
