Hybrid Striped Bass
Hybrid Striped Bass, also known as wipers, aren't as common around Stanley, Virginia, as Largemouth or other panfish, but they're definitely worth targeting if you're after a hard-fighting fish. Your best bet is to head to Lake Anna, which is a bit of a drive (approx 1.5 hours) but well-stocked with hybrids. These fish thrive in the open water and are especially active in the spring and fall when water temperatures are moderate. Trolling with crankbaits or casting swimbaits near points and humps are effective tactics. Look for areas where the hybrids are chasing baitfish. Early morning and late evening are prime times. Be aware of Lake Anna's size and boat traffic, particularly on weekends. A fish finder is essential for locating structure and schools of fish.
