Hybrid Striped Bass
Hybrid striped bass, a hard-fighting and fast-growing fish, can be found in a few select waters near Watford City. While not as widespread as some other species, certain reservoirs in the region have been stocked with these fish, offering anglers a unique challenge. Specifically, check the stocking reports for the larger reservoirs in McKenzie County. Hybrids are schooling fish, so when you find one, you're likely to find more. They are aggressive feeders, making them a blast to catch on lures. Spring and fall are generally the best times to target them, as they tend to be more active in cooler water temperatures. Look for them near points, drop-offs, and areas with current. A practical tip: use heavier tackle than you would for largemouth bass, as hybrids are incredibly strong. Also, be prepared for long runs, as these fish can really test your drag. This is a relatively new fishery in the area, so check local fishing reports for the most up-to-date information.
