Hybrid Striped Bass
For a thrilling freshwater fishing experience near Fairfax, Virginia, consider targeting hybrid striped bass in the Occoquan Reservoir. This reservoir, formed by the Occoquan River, is periodically stocked with hybrids, providing anglers with opportunities to catch these hard-fighting fish. Spring and fall are the optimal times to fish for them, when the water temperatures are moderate and the hybrids are actively feeding. During the spring, focus on areas near the dam and along main lake points. In the fall, look for schooling activity as the hybrids chase baitfish. A productive local tip is to use live shad or alewives as bait, either drifting them or trolling them slowly. Also, be aware of the reservoir's fluctuating water levels, as this can affect fish location. The hybrids in the Occoquan Reservoir can reach impressive sizes, often exceeding 5 pounds, and are known for their strong runs and aerial displays. Check the Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources website for stocking reports and regulations specific to the Occoquan Reservoir before your trip.
