Hybrid Striped Bass
If you're looking for a hard-fighting freshwater fish near Lynchburg, Virginia, consider targeting Hybrid Striped Bass in the James River and its tributaries. These fish, a cross between striped bass and white bass, offer exciting action. Spring and fall are prime times, as the hybrids become more active with the changing water temperatures and follow baitfish migrations. Focus your efforts around the mouths of creeks and river bends where baitfish congregate. A local tip: the area near the Percival's Island Natural Area offers good bank access, though be mindful of the currents. Also, check the water release schedule from any upstream dams, as this can significantly impact fishing conditions. The hybrids in the James River tend to be schooling fish, so once you find one, there are likely more nearby. Common lures include crankbaits, swimbaits, and topwater plugs when conditions are right.
