If you're targeting striped bass near Plainville, Kansas, your best bet is to head to nearby reservoirs like Webster Reservoir. While not a renowned striper destination, Webster does hold a population of these hard-fighting fish. Spring and fall are prime times, as the stripers become more active in cooler water, chasing baitfish near the dam and along windy shorelines. Focus your efforts around sunrise and sunset for increased activity. A local tip is to use live bait such as shad or large shiners, especially when fishing deeper water near the dam. Trolling large crankbaits can also be effective. Keep an eye on Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks stocking reports, as striper populations are maintained through stocking efforts. Be prepared for varying water levels, which can significantly impact fish location and behavior.
