Hybrid Striped Bass
Hybrid Striped Bass, often called wipers, offer a hard-fighting option near Rapid City. Angostura Reservoir is your best bet for targeting these aggressive fish. Spring and fall are the peak seasons, as wipers school up and actively feed. Look for areas with moving water or where the wind is blowing into shore, as these areas tend to concentrate baitfish. Trolling crankbaits or casting swimbaits and topwater lures can be highly effective. Angostura's relatively clear water makes sight fishing a possibility at times. A local tactic is to watch for surface activity, indicating schooling wipers chasing bait. Be aware that these fish are strong and can make long runs, so use appropriate tackle. Boat ramps are available around the reservoir, but be prepared for potential crowds, especially on weekends. Remember to check the South Dakota Game, Fish & Parks regulations, as wiper limits and size restrictions may differ from other species.
