If you're looking to hook into some striped bass in western Kansas, Ulysses offers a few surprisingly good options. While not a traditional striper destination, the larger reservoirs and lakes in the region, such as Lake Scott State Park a bit north, are stocked and can produce some impressive fish. Spring and fall are prime times, as the stripers become more active in cooler water temperatures. Look for them near dam structures or points where the wind is creating current. A local tip: check the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks stocking reports to see when and where the most recent striper releases occurred. These fish can be line-shy in the clear Kansas waters, so consider using fluorocarbon leaders. The striper population isn't huge, but the chance of landing a trophy-sized fish makes it worth the trip. Be prepared for windy conditions, especially in the spring.
