California Delta Stripers and Summertime Bass
Capt. Bryce Tedford Reports on 5.8.2024
It's been a great Spring Striper season on CA Delta with mild weather & plenty of solid fish in the mix! Some days we have to really work for them & grind it out but it’s been good fishing overall. My Spring Striper season is all but booked up, but I will soon turn my focus to Summer fishing for Largemouth & Smallmouth on the Fly.
Half-day excursions and prime Summer fishing for Largemouth & Smallmouth is just around the corner (June-Sept.). For Largemouth we use 7-8wt rods, floating lines & large poppers or Gurglers. For Smallmouth we use 4-5wt rods, small poppers & jig flies if they don’t eat topwater. These trips are a great way to get new people into the sport or just fun in the sun for seasoned anglers to chase topwater Bass!
Finally, come Fall (Sept-Dec), I turn my attention back to Stripers to finish the year. I still have plenty of openings in the Summer for 1/2 day Bass trips as well as Full day trips in the Fall for Stripers!
