Hybrid Striped Bass
If you're looking for hard-fighting hybrid striped bass in West Virginia, Terra Alta's Cheat Lake is your destination. These fish, a cross between striped bass and white bass, offer a thrilling angling experience. Spring and fall are the peak seasons, mirroring the activity of their striped bass cousins. Look for them schooling near the surface, chasing baitfish. Trolling with crankbaits or casting swimbaits can be highly effective. The hybrids in Cheat Lake are known for their aggressive strikes and strong runs. Public boat ramps provide access to the lake, but be prepared for potential crowds, especially during weekends and holidays. A key tip is to pay attention to bird activity; diving birds often indicate schools of baitfish, and the hybrids won't be far behind. Remember to consult the West Virginia DNR regulations for hybrid striped bass, as they may differ from those for pure striped bass.
