I have a video clip that I took last spring of a Striper that came out of the deep hole that starts at the end of Cap’s which is 2 properties down stream from CVC. I have heard from other people that they have seen Stripers in some of the deep area’s from #5 all the way back to the dam. The Stripers I see are in April, May and June. I see them between 7:00 AM and 10:00 AM. Remember this is what I have seen or heard.
In the last two years I have hooked into five or six stripers. The one thing that is common with every striper that I have had on my line is that As soon as they know they are hooked they take off for the deep water as fast as they can. You need at least a 12 lb. Tippet so they don’t break the line. Even using 12 lb. Tippet they still straightened out #12 hooks. I used a 10’ 4 wt Thomas and Thomas zone fly rod that held up very well. I was using a 1/64 oz lead head that had the #12 hook and fitted it with a 2” yellow unsented Mr. twister. These stripers were around at least 30” long. I was not able to bring anyone of them in as they always broke something. I hope this is helpful. They sure are fun for as long as you can hold them.

If you have watched any of David Atenburoughs’s wild life programs fish can communicate with each other. There has been more than one program where it shows a grouper going up to a moray eel or an octopus and using fin movements and body movements asking these other sea creatures to go hunting for food. I don’t think it’s out of the realm of possibility that the fish tell other fish not to strike what you are using.

I agree 100% about Mathew’s Rod and Reel. They have worked on 2 of my fly rods and you can’t tell their work from the original rod builder.

Thank you for the information. I totally forgot about the feeding program. I reading about the spawning habits of the Guadalupe Bass. I found that they can have a 2nd spawn in late summer/early fall that is now. My thinking is that the pellets floated over their spawning beds and that is why all the fish I saw were Guadalupe Bass. The article I read stated they like to setup their beds in shallow fast moving water. That was where I found them. It was quite a sight to see so many larger Guadalupe Bass In one spot.
The article also stated that after the females lay their eggs the males drive off the females and they stay to protect the eggs.
