Delta Fly Fishing Report

Steve Santucci reports on 1.18.17

Delta fly fishing is put on hold for me.  Water conditions are high with muddy conditions in more than half the area.  There is clear water in some areas of the North and South Delta.  I am waiting for end of this next session of storms to end.  Fished a little on my own this last week and found fishing very tough.  Most anglers  that are throwing lures or flies are catching maybe one fish for one day of fishing. The Delta water temps are above 50 degrees to about 54 in most areas.  The lower layers are probably cooler as the bite is not good.  I look forward to getting out and fishing as soon as possible.  It will be worth the wait as California is mending itself and replenishing it’s water supply.
