Lake Lanier's striped bass are landlocked descendants of ocean-going fish, stocked to create a premier freshwater fishery. These powerful predators patrol the lake in schools, feeding heavily on shad and creating exciting topwater action during dawn and dusk periods. Spring finds them in shallow water for spawning runs, while summer heat pushes them to deeper, cooler areas near the thermocline. Fall brings some of the year's best fishing as stripers feed aggressively before winter, often creating spectacular surface feeding frenzies that can be seen from great distances.
