Hybrid Striped Bass
Targeting hybrid striped bass near Scottsville, Virginia, presents a unique freshwater challenge. These aggressive fish, a cross between striped bass and white bass, thrive in the larger reservoirs and rivers of the region. While the Rivanna River itself may hold some hybrids, your best bet is to head to the James River downstream. These fish are stocked in the James and provide exciting fishing opportunities. Spring and fall are typically the most productive times, as the hybrids follow baitfish migrations. Look for them near bridges, dams, and areas with strong current. Trolling crankbaits or casting swimbaits are effective techniques. Access to the James River is available at various boat ramps and public access points along its course. Local tip: Check the stocking reports from the Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources to get an idea of recent stocking locations and fish sizes. Also, be prepared for a fight – these fish are known for their power!
