Hybrid Striped Bass
Wellsburg, West Virginia, offers a unique opportunity to tangle with hybrid striped bass in the Ohio River. These hard-fighting fish are stocked in the river and provide exciting action for anglers. The best time to target them is in the spring and fall, when they are actively feeding. Look for them near areas with strong current, such as below dams or near the mouths of major tributaries. Trolling crankbaits or casting swimbaits are effective methods for locating these fish. Live bait, such as shad or alewives, can also be very productive. Be prepared for a battle, as hybrid stripers are known for their powerful runs. A medium-heavy rod and reel with a good drag system is recommended. Public access is available at several locations along the river in Wellsburg, allowing for both boat and shore fishing. Keep an eye out for schooling activity, as hybrid stripers often feed in groups. These fish can grow to impressive sizes in the Ohio River, with some exceeding 10 pounds.
