Striped Bass
Targeting striped bass near Lake George, Colorado, presents a unique opportunity in a high-altitude environment. While not a natural habitat, stripers thrive here due to stocking programs and abundant forage. Focus your efforts during the spring and fall when water temperatures are moderate and the fish are actively feeding. Look for areas where the South Platte River flows into the reservoir, as these inflows often concentrate baitfish. Early mornings and late evenings are prime times. A key local tip: Lake George can experience rapid weather changes, so be prepared for anything. Also, pay attention to the thermocline, as stripers will often hold just above it. Use sonar to locate schools of fish and adjust your presentation accordingly. Remember that Lake George is primarily a freshwater system, impacting the salinity tolerance of the stripers.
