Striped Bass
While not as widely known as some other locations, the waters near Laurel Park, NC, occasionally offer opportunities to target striped bass, especially in the Green River tailrace below Lake Summit. These stripers are typically landlocked and can provide an exciting challenge for anglers. The best time to target them is during the cooler months, particularly in the spring and fall when they are more active. Look for areas with current and structure, such as bridge pilings or submerged rocks. Live bait, such as shad or herring (where legal and available), is often the most effective method. Large swimbaits and crankbaits can also produce. Access to the Green River tailrace can be tricky, so research public access points and be prepared for some hiking. Be aware of changing water levels due to dam releases. The striped bass population here is not as abundant as in larger reservoirs, but the chance to hook into a hard-fighting striper in a scenic mountain setting is worth the effort.
