Lake wateree stripers

[bubby864]

how are the stripers on wateree? Are they as good as murray for topwater etc?

[willk]

No. Not even close. The top water bite used to be good. Some people believe that a lot of the population got washed over the damn a few years back. There was a good 5-6ft of water flowin over. Two years ago however they released something like 500,000 fingerlings.

thanks for the info. Looking at lake property but i figured it didnt hold a candle to murray.

The stripers are making a good comeback on wateree. not the numbers OR size compared to murray. you will catch those 12-15" on wateree compared to those 25-30"on Murray.
