When Is A Good Time For Stripers

[Brian Sloss]

Have been toying with the idea of taking a fly rod and trying to get some top water action for stripers. Does anyone know a good time of year to try this. I hear that the fishing can be awesome when they are chasing shad near the surface.

Brian,

I would have to say the Tecumseh area on high water in the winter is your best bet on the fly. They will generally take a run when the water from the NFOW and Bryant get high and the lake starts to fill. I am thinking about taking the drifter out against all of those boats and anchoring when they make their run.

Thanks, I may have to join you if you don't mind the company.
