Season
Spring (March-May) and Fall (September-November) offer the best opportunities, with some action possible in summer.
Hybrid Striped Bass offer a thrilling fight on light tackle, combining the strength of a striper with the schooling behavior of a white bass. They are a fantastic target for anglers looking for explosive action.
Species on the board
Hybrid Striped Bass fishing in Jackson Lake is best in the spring and fall when they actively school and feed near the surface and in deeper water. We often find them chasing baitfish in the main lake and around creek mouths. They are a hybrid species, known for their aggressive strikes and strong runs.
Morone chrysops x Morone saxatilis
Hybrids, also known as "palmetto bass," are a cross between white bass and striped bass. They inherit a voracious appetite and a powerful fighting spirit, making them a favorite among Jackson Lake anglers. These fish typically school up, often in large numbers, and can be found patrolling the main lake, creek channels, and areas with significant baitfish concentrations. When they are on the feed, it's an exciting experience, with multiple fish often hitting at once. Look for them busting bait on the surface or holding near structure in deeper water. Our charter specializes in locating these active schools.
