California Delta Fly Fishing Report

Bryce Tedford reports on Nov. 15th, 2024

Fall is finally beginning on the Sacramento & San Joaquin California Delta! It’s been a slow start to the fall as water temperatures have been hovering above 70 degrees. With 100 degree days it was a mix of topwater largemouth & a slow transition to the Striper game.

That said, fall has arrived & the cooler weather will turn my attention towards Stripers in the coming weeks. Fall should be a great time on the Delta with fish moving into the system to heavily forage on baitfish, crawfish, bluegill, pike minnow, baby bass, etc.

We will be using 8-9wt rods, heavy sinking lines, 20-25lb leaders & large Clousers to weed out quality fish. Fall season is a wonderful time on the Delta & should not be missed by the Striper enthusiasts or anyone interested in the adventure of chasing Stripers on the Fly.
