Hybrid Striped Bass
Gassaway, West Virginia, might not be the first place that comes to mind for hybrid striped bass, but Sutton Lake, a short drive away, is worth the trip. Sutton Lake is a reservoir known for its clear water and healthy population of these hard-fighting fish. Spring and fall are the peak seasons, as the hybrids become more active in cooler water. Look for them near the dam, along points, and in the river channel. Trolling crankbaits or casting swimbaits can be effective, especially early in the morning or late in the evening. A local tip is to pay attention to the thermocline during the summer months; the hybrids will often congregate just above it. Sutton Lake State Park offers excellent boat launch facilities and shoreline access. The hybrids here average a decent size, providing exciting action for anglers of all skill levels. Remember to check the West Virginia DNR regulations for size and creel limits.
