Hybrid Striped Bass
Hybrid striped bass, also known as wipers, offer exciting angling opportunities near Union, West Virginia, though they aren't as common as some other species. Your best bet is to target Bluestone Lake, a short drive from Union. This reservoir provides the open water and forage base needed to support a healthy population of these aggressive predators. Spring and fall are prime times, as wipers school up to chase baitfish. Look for surface activity early and late in the day. Trolling crankbaits or casting swimbaits near points and submerged humps can be effective. Access Bluestone Lake via the public boat ramps located around the lake. Keep an eye on water levels, as they can fluctuate. Also, be aware that hybrid striped bass can be easily confused with white bass, so familiarize yourself with the identifying characteristics of each species. A West Virginia fishing license is required.
