BJ...I had the exact same question...where are my HSB! I have stocked a few hybrid stripers every 2-3 years. Never saw or caught any the first year or two. After that caught 1-2 maybe a few times a year. Now we catch them more often and we see them at the feeder. We usually catch them on large and small minnows, and sometimes on a lure. George would be upset I haven't tried flies yet. Not sure what changed, but I was worried they had been eaten by otters or disappeared.
