Freshwater stripers can grow pretty large when there’s a good forage base in a lake.

Guide and former Trout Bum of the Week Steve Hollensed, of Flywater Angling Adventures, sent in these shots of anglers catching big striped bass on massive Lake Texoma in December. Steve says, “Most fly fishers don’t really think of a lake on the border of Texas and Oklahoma as capable of producing fly fishing of this quality.” That’s a serious hunk of linesider!
Just like in salt water, if you follow the birds, you’ll find the fish.
Sometimes, all you can do is just hold on and go along for the ride.
After the floods?
