While not as common as their hybrid cousins, Striped Bass can be found in Fredonia, Kansas, offering a unique angling opportunity. Toronto Lake, again, is the primary destination. Stocking is less frequent than with hybrids, so the population is smaller but the potential for larger fish exists. Spring and fall are prime times, mirroring the hybrid striped bass patterns. Live bait fishing with shad is a proven method, especially near the dam or in deeper channels. Jigging spoons can also be effective when stripers are holding deep. Be prepared for a fight; these fish are powerful! Access to Toronto Lake is excellent, with well-maintained boat ramps and ample shoreline access. A key piece of advice: pay attention to water clarity; stripers prefer clearer water, so focus your efforts accordingly. Always consult the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks for current regulations regarding striped bass.
