There are still plenty of stripers around and there will be for a couple more weeks.  Right now there are so many herring in the river that a striper couldn't be bothered to eat a jig or a fly.  Bait fisherman are still catching fish up to 30" but it has been extremely difficult to get one to eat an artificial.  Once the herring thin out it will be possible to catch them on jigs, flies or trolling large crankbaits.  The average size fish decreases over the course of the spring but there should be plenty of 18" fish around for a couple more weeks.  The big splashes you see are mostly large blue catfish.
