Seasonal Activity Chart
Hybrid Striped Bass
Sutton Lake in West Virginia is a prime location for targeting Hybrid Striped Bass, offering a unique freshwater experience for anglers. The lake's diverse structure, including submerged timber and rocky points, creates ideal habitat for these hard-fighting fish. Spring and fall are generally the most productive seasons, as the hybrids become more active in cooler water temperatures. During the spring spawning runs, focus on the upper reaches of the lake where the Elk River and Holly River feed in. Trolling with crankbaits or casting swimbaits around points and submerged structure are effective techniques. A local tip is to pay attention to the thermocline during the summer months, as the hybrids will often congregate in cooler, deeper water. Remember that Sutton Lake can experience fluctuating water levels, so check conditions before you head out. These fish are known for their aggressive strikes and powerful runs, making for an exciting angling experience.
