Hybrid Striped Bass
Looking for some hard-fighting hybrid striped bass in southwest Virginia? Duffield, situated near the South Fork Holston River and its impoundments, can be a great place to target them. While not as abundant as in some other parts of the state, the hybrids here offer a thrilling experience for anglers. Focus your efforts on the areas near the dams and in the deeper channels of the river. Spring and fall are peak seasons, as the hybrids become more active with the cooler water temperatures. Trolling crankbaits or casting swimbaits can be effective, especially during periods of increased current. A local tip: try fishing near the discharge points of the dams, as the increased oxygen and baitfish attract the hybrids. Be mindful of the regulations regarding size and creel limits, as they can differ from those for striped bass. The hybrid striped bass in this area are known for their aggressive strikes and powerful runs.
