Local Species Insights: Striped Bass
Striped bass in Lake Lanier are landlocked descendants of ocean-going fish, adapting perfectly to the lake's deep, cool waters and abundant shad population. These fish patrol the lake's main channels and creek arms, following schools of threadfin and gizzard shad that make up their primary diet. During cooler months, stripers often suspend in deeper water near the thermocline, while warmer periods find them chasing bait in shallow coves and along rocky shorelines.
