California Delta Fly Fishing Report

Capt. Bryce Tedford reports on 11.15.18

Delta

Striper fishing in the Delta continues to be good this fall. The weather has been challenging with a lot of smoke from recent fires in California making bad air quality, hopefully, the fires & smoke lay down for all those impacted. We are finding pods of fish spread

throughout the Delta but having to move a lot to find solid schools. Most fish are smaller “schoolies” but 3-5lb fish are mixed in & the occasional larger fish can be found as well! 

Water temperatures are 55 degrees in much of the Delta. For Stripers subsurface I continue to use 1/0-3/0 “Steve Adachi” style rattle Clouser flies in various color combinations. Prime Striper fishing generally goes through November & into Dec., get out there before the 2018 season is over!
