While not as common as other species, striped bass (or wipers, the hybrid striped bass) can be found in Marion Reservoir near Peabody, Kansas. These fish are typically stocked and offer a thrilling challenge for anglers. Spring and fall are the most productive times to target them, as they tend to be more active in cooler water temperatures. Look for them near the dam, along windblown points, and in areas with schooling baitfish. Trolling large crankbaits or casting swimbaits are popular methods. A local tip is to use electronics to locate schools of wipers, as they often roam in open water. Be prepared for a strong fight, as these fish are known for their power. Access to the reservoir is readily available through several boat ramps, including the Hillsboro Cove ramp. Wipers in Marion Reservoir can range from a few pounds to upwards of 10 pounds, offering the potential for a memorable catch. Check local regulations for size and creel limits specific to striped bass/wipers.
