I took the family to a near shopping center and while I killed time I went to the Sports Chalet there, a guy showed me some pix of a lake close home, he had caught a 10lb (or so) stripper and a huge bass too. He said he caught the stripers on top water lures and that they were really aggressive.
Now, I have never fished for stripers but I'd like to try. I own an 8 and a 10wt, the fist has a Rio mainstream sinking line and the second floating line. Which would be a better option?
I'm not sure if I can use my bass bugs or if I need to tie specific flies for striper, if so, can anybody share some recipes?

Thanks tons.
