Roanoke River Striper Season Opens March 1st
For those of you who just can't seem to get your fill of striped bass, the NC Division of Marine Fisheries will be opening the lower Roanoke River to striper fishing from March 1st through April 15th and the upper Roanoke River from March 15th through April 30th. The lower Roanoke River is defined as the Roanoke River and its tributaries downstream from the US 258 bridge near Scotland Neck to Albemarle Sound, including the Cashie, Middle and Eastmost rivers. The upper Roanoke River is defined as the Roanoke River and its tributaries upstream, from the US 258 bridge near Scotland Neck to Roanoke Rapids Lake Dam. The daily creel limit within the Roanoke River Management Area is two striped bass per person. The minimum length limit is 18 inches, and no striped bass between 22 and 27 inches may be possessed at any time. Only one stripers larger than 27 inches may be included in the daily creel limit. More information on the striped bass management plan is available from the NC DMF.
