Hybrid Striped Bass
If you're seeking Hybrid Striped Bass action near Pearisburg, Virginia, Claytor Lake is your destination. This impoundment of the New River is stocked with Hybrids, offering anglers a chance to tangle with these hard-fighting fish. Spring and fall are the prime seasons, as the water temperatures are more favorable and the Hybrids are actively feeding. Look for schools of Hybrids chasing baitfish on the surface, particularly in the early morning or late evening. Trolling crankbaits, casting swimbaits, or jigging spoons can be highly effective. A local tip: pay attention to areas with current, such as near the dam or where creeks enter the lake. Also, consider using live bait, such as shad or shiners, for a more natural presentation. Claytor Lake's Hybrid Striped Bass are known for their aggressive strikes and powerful runs, so be sure to bring appropriate tackle. Be aware of size and creel limits, which may differ from other species.
