Hybrid Striped Bass
Looking for some hard-fighting hybrid striped bass? While not as common as other species, Stony Creek, Virginia and the Nottoway River present a unique opportunity to target these fish, particularly in areas where they may have been stocked or escaped from nearby impoundments. These hybrids are known for their aggressive strikes and powerful runs, making them a thrilling catch. Spring and fall are the best times to target them, as they tend to be more active during these periods. Focus on areas with moving water, such as creek mouths and bridge pilings. A practical local tip is to use lures that imitate shad or other baitfish, as these are a primary food source for hybrids. Trolling or casting crankbaits and swimbaits can be effective. Hybrid striped bass in the Nottoway system are not as abundant as in larger reservoirs, making each catch a rewarding experience. Be sure to check local regulations regarding size and creel limits for hybrid striped bass.
