Striped Bass
Targeting striped bass in the French Broad River near Woodfin, NC, presents a unique angling challenge. While not as abundant as in larger reservoirs, stripers do migrate up the river, offering opportunities for those willing to put in the time. Spring is the key season, as stripers move upstream to spawn. Look for them in the deeper pools and runs, especially near the confluence of tributaries. Trolling large crankbaits or swimbaits that mimic shad can be effective. Live bait, like gizzard shad if you can obtain them, is also a top choice. The limited access in some areas can make finding productive spots tricky. Consider launching a small boat or kayak from one of the public access points along the river to cover more ground. Be aware of the river's fluctuating water levels, which can impact fishing conditions. Due to the relatively smaller population, catch and release is highly encouraged to help maintain the fishery.
