I wasn't around back when Raystown was "good" because i was just a little tike, lol. So i only know it as a tough lake but definitely alot of awesome structure and many different types of patterns to fish.

As for the stripers, you are correct. They do lay their eggs, but in order for them to hatch, they need to have fast flowing water for the eggs to roll over the stone gravel, and there is not enough fast water to do that. Same goes for Smith Mountain Lake in Virginia that I regularly fish for stripers, however it is nothing to catch 10 in an hour at that lake. That lake in AWESOME for stripers!
