Hybrid Striped Bass
If you're chasing hard-fighting hybrid striped bass in the Craigsville, Virginia area, you'll want to focus your attention on Lake Tams. This reservoir is stocked with hybrids, offering a great opportunity to hook into some sizable fish. The best time to target them is during the spring and fall months when water temperatures are cooler and the fish are more active. Look for schooling activity near the dam or along submerged points and humps. During the summer months, early morning and late evening are your best bets as the fish tend to move deeper during the day. A local tip: trolling crankbaits or live shad is a productive method. Be aware of submerged timber and other structure, as hybrids often use it for ambush points. Also, check the Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources website for the latest stocking reports and regulations specific to Lake Tams. These hybrids are known for their aggressive strikes and powerful runs, so be prepared for a battle!
