Seasonal Activity Chart

Hybrid Striped Bass
La Crosse, Virginia, offers some exciting hybrid striped bass action, primarily centered around Lake Gaston. This reservoir, formed by the Roanoke River, is stocked with hybrids, offering anglers a chance to tangle with these hard-fighting fish. Spring and fall are generally the best times to target them, as they school up to feed on shad. Look for schooling activity near the dam or in the main lake points and coves. Trolling crankbaits or casting swimbaits into these schools can be incredibly effective. Early mornings and late afternoons are prime times. The area around the dam is a popular spot, but be mindful of boat traffic. A local tip: use your electronics to locate schools of shad, as the hybrids won't be far behind. Also, pay attention to the wind; hybrids often congregate on wind-blown points. Lake Gaston hybrids are known for their aggressive strikes and powerful runs, so be prepared for a battle!
