Striped Bass are the giants of the temperate bass family, offering an incredible test of strength and endurance for any angler. Their powerful runs and sheer size make them a highly sought-after trophy.
Species on the board
Striped Bass fishing in Jackson Lake is a fantastic pursuit, particularly during the cooler months of spring and fall when they often school up aggressively. We target them in open water, around structure, and following baitfish migrations. These are powerful fish that demand respect and good tackle.
Morone saxatilis
Striped Bass, also known as rockfish, are renowned for their size and fighting ability. On Jackson Lake, they can grow to impressive weights, providing a serious challenge for anglers. These predatory fish are often found in deeper sections of the lake, following schools of shad and other baitfish. When a school of stripers is actively feeding, it can be a chaotic and exhilarating experience, with multiple fish striking lures simultaneously. We employ various techniques, from trolling large plugs and umbrella rigs to casting bucktail jigs and live bait, depending on the conditions and the fish's mood. Your guide will know the best spots and strategies to put you onto these magnificent fish.
