This baby striped bass (about 10 inches long) hit a marabou muddler streamer fly at the turbulent downstream end of one of the new gravel bar islands below Six Mile Falls in Sidney on June 18, 2000. This area is nearly 12 miles above the site of the Edwards Dam in Augusta, where stripers were blocked for more than 160 years.

The very small size of this striper suggests it is Kennebec River native. The Kennebec is the only U.S. river north of the Hudson to have a viable, native striped bass population.
