While not as common as their hybrid cousins, true striped bass can sometimes be found in larger reservoirs in southeast Kansas. If you're hoping to catch a striped bass near Walnut, Kansas, it's essential to check the stocking reports from the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks to see if any nearby lakes have been stocked. These fish prefer cooler water and deeper areas, so focus your efforts in the lower ends of reservoirs, near the dam, or in deep channels. Trolling large crankbaits or live bait is a popular and effective method. They are ambush predators, so look for areas where they can hide and strike prey.
