Hybrid Striped Bass
Hybrid striped bass fishing near Hurt, Virginia, primarily means heading to Leesville Lake or Smith Mountain Lake, a bit of a drive but worth it for the potential reward. These reservoirs are stocked with hybrids, creating a fantastic opportunity for anglers seeking fast-paced action. Spring and fall are peak seasons, as the hybrids school up and actively feed. Look for them near points, humps, and submerged structure. Trolling with crankbaits or casting with swimbaits can be highly effective. A local tip: pay attention to bird activity, as flocks of birds often indicate schooling hybrids feeding on baitfish below. When you find the birds, you'll likely find the fish. Hybrids in these lakes are known for their aggressive strikes and strong runs, so be sure your tackle is up to the task. Also, familiarize yourself with the specific size and creel limits for hybrid striped bass on Leesville and Smith Mountain Lake before you go.
