Striped Bass
While landlocked striped bass might not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Parsons, West Virginia, the Tygart Lake tailwaters offer a unique opportunity. The stocking efforts in Tygart Lake itself have resulted in a population of stripers that occasionally make their way into the river below the dam. Spring and fall are your best bets, when water temperatures are moderate and the stripers are actively feeding. Focus your efforts around periods of water release from the dam, as this stirs up baitfish and triggers feeding activity. A local tip: use large swimbaits or crankbaits that imitate gizzard shad, a primary forage fish. Access is readily available at the Tygart Lake tailwater area. Be prepared for swift currents and potentially rocky wading conditions. The stripers here tend to be opportunistic feeders, so don't be afraid to experiment with different lure presentations.
