Hybrid Striped Bass
If you're chasing hybrid striped bass in South Dakota, consider making the trip to Wasta. While not necessarily known as a hybrid striper mecca, the tailwaters below dams on the Cheyenne River near Wasta can offer surprisingly good fishing. Spring and fall are prime times, as the hybrids follow baitfish migrations. Look for areas with current breaks and structure. A key to success here is understanding the water release schedules from the dam, as increased flow can concentrate fish. A local tip: Access to the river can be limited, so research public access points beforehand. Also, pay attention to water clarity, as the Cheyenne River can get muddy after heavy rains. These hybrids tend to be opportunistic feeders, so try casting crankbaits or swimbaits that imitate shad or other small baitfish. Don't be afraid to experiment with retrieves to find what the fish are keying on that day. The hybrid striper population here is sustained through stocking, so practice catch and release to help maintain the fishery.
