Hybrid Striped Bass
For a hard-fighting freshwater experience near Culpeper, Virginia, consider targeting hybrid striped bass. These fish, a cross between striped bass and white bass, are stocked in Lake Pelham, a reservoir managed by the town of Culpeper. Hybrids are known for their aggressive strikes and powerful runs, making them a favorite among anglers. The best time to target them is during the spring and fall when water temperatures are moderate. Look for them near the dam and in areas with submerged structure. Trolling with crankbaits or casting swimbaits can be effective. Live bait, such as shad or shiners, can also be productive. Lake Pelham offers boat rentals and a public boat ramp, making it easily accessible. Keep an eye on the surface for schooling activity, as hybrids often chase baitfish in open water. Remember to check the local regulations for size and creel limits for hybrid striped bass, as they may differ from those for striped bass.
