California Delta Fly Fishing Report

Capt. Bryce Tedford reports 12.6.18

Striper fishing in the Delta continues to be pretty good but weather changes have made the bite go up & down throughout the day. Some rain & wind can create challenges but for the most part, the weather has been manageable. 

The season will likely wind down over the next month or so but for the time being it’s going pretty good. Most fish we have been finding are smaller “schoolies” but 3-5lb fish are mixed in & the occasional larger fish can be found as well! Water temperatures are 50-55 degrees in different spots within the Delta depending on where you fish.

For Stripers subsurface I continue to use 1/0-3/0 “Steve Adachi” style rattle Clouser flies in various color combinations.
