Striped Bass
While not as widely known as some other Kansas fisheries, Salina offers a unique opportunity to chase striped bass in a freshwater environment. The primary location is certainly Kanopolis Lake west of Salina, which has been stocked with stripers. These fish provide an exciting challenge for anglers accustomed to other species. Spring and fall are generally the best times to target striped bass, as they tend to be more active in cooler water temperatures. Look for them near the dam, in coves with submerged timber, or around points where they ambush baitfish. Trolling crankbaits or casting swimbaits are popular techniques. A local tip: pay attention to wind direction, as stripers often congregate on the windward side of the lake. Also, be sure to check the latest Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks stocking reports to see the status of the striper population.
