Delta Bass Fly Fishing Report

Captain Bryce Tedford Reports on June 25th, 2025

Summer fishing is off to a solid start! From June 15-September 15, I turn my focus to topwater largemouth & smallmouth bass. These 5hr long 1/2 days are a great way to get newer anglers into the sport, as well as a blast for seasoned veterans. This is a great for guests who just want to have fun watching largemouth & smallmouth blow up a fly!

Option 1--smallmouth focus: There is one section/launch on the Delta that has a bunch of smallmouth with a small side of largemouth, but it is primarily smaller fish, lighter 4-5wt rods, smaller sz6 flies & easy/fun fishing. Also, this section is well protected from the wind & we start a bit later on this trip (7-7:30am).

Option 2--largemouth focus: The other section/launch is just to target largemouth, primarily larger fish, heavy rods, big flies & more challenging fishing overall. This area is open to the wind so that can be an added challenge. Generally start earlier on this trip (6am). Still have some remaining dates in August if anyone wants to jump on one of these summer trips!
