Delta Fly Fishing Report

Bryce Tedford reports on 4.13.17

The fishing has been steadily improving but weather has been creating challenges. The striper bite has been improving & we are seeing more fish in the 4-6# range which is a lot of fun! Clarity in the main Delta has greatly improved as well & we are seeing water temperatures around 60 degrees. My guests have been fishing chartreuse/white clouser minnows in the 4-6" range & rattle flies seem to help when clarity is an issue. Most stripers caught this week were found in central Delta area in 5-15’ of water & 10’ is what I target the most with type 6 sinking lines. We seem to be in a classic spring weather system of one day rain & the next sunny, if you can find a day with decent weather & lower winds then get out & enjoy. The Delta is beautiful this time of year & the potential is always there for some great fish!
