Hybrid Striped Bass
While not as common as other species, hybrid striped bass (wipers) can be found in select waters near Willow City, North Dakota, offering a thrilling angling experience. Often stocked in larger reservoirs, these aggressive fish provide a hard fight. Lake Darling, a bit of a drive but worth it, is a known location for wipers. Spring and fall are typically the best times to target them, as they are more active in cooler water temperatures. Look for them near the dam or in areas with strong current. Trolling crankbaits or casting swimbaits can be effective methods. Local tip: Check the ND Game and Fish Department stocking reports to see if any recent stockings have occurred in the area. Wipers are known for their schooling behavior, so if you find one, there are likely more nearby. These fish are powerful, so be sure to use appropriate tackle.
