Targeting striped bass near Turon, Kansas, presents a unique challenge, as they aren't native to most of the immediate local waters. Your best bet involves heading towards larger reservoirs within a reasonable driving distance. Cheney Reservoir, about an hour's drive, is known to hold a population of striped bass. Spring and fall are generally the most productive times to fish for stripers. During the spring spawn, they often move into shallower areas. Fall sees them schooling up and feeding aggressively before winter. Trolling with crankbaits or live bait rigs can be effective. A key piece of local advice is to monitor the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks fishing reports for Cheney Reservoir to stay updated on striper activity and water conditions. Also, be aware of any size or creel limits specific to stripers in Kansas, as they can differ from other species. The striper population in Cheney is sustained through stocking, so fish size and abundance can vary year to year.
