Hybrid Striped Bass
While not as widely known as some other West Virginia fisheries, Auburn offers a shot at hybrid striped bass. These hard-fighting fish are stocked in select waters, and while I can't guarantee their presence directly in Auburn, the nearby Stonewall Jackson Lake is a well-known destination for them. The best time to target hybrids is during the spring and fall when water temperatures are moderate. They tend to school, so if you find one, you'll often find more. Look for them near points, humps, and other structure. Live bait such as shad or alewives are effective, as are crankbaits and swimbaits. The lake has multiple boat ramps and good access. A fish finder is essential for locating schools of baitfish and the hybrids that follow. Check the West Virginia DNR stocking reports to confirm hybrid stocking in Stonewall Jackson Lake or other nearby reservoirs before planning your trip, and always adhere to state regulations.
