California Delta Fly Fishing Report

California Delta Fly Fishing Report

Capt. Bryce Tedford Reports On 6.21.2020

Smallmouth season is heating up on the California Delta! I will be focused on Smallmouth/Largemouth through August & the return to Stripers come fall. This past week I have been targeting Smallmouth, had some Fly Fishing Women join me on the boat & we had a blast!!! I gave this day 2 thumbs up as they had great attitudes, had great fun & caught some quality Topwater fish!!!

Smallmouth 1/2 day trips offer Topwater fishing with light rods such as 4 or 5wts. We cast small poppers towards rock banks & eagerly awaiting Smallmouth. This fishery is a great way to introduce beginners to the sport & fun for seasoned anglers who like Topwater poppers on light rods.

Largemouth 1/2 day trips offer Topwater fishing with heavy rods such as 8 or 9wt. We cast large poppers such as frog patterns to ideal holes in the weeds until a largemouth explodes on the fly!

Smallmouth season is heating up on the California Delta! I will be focused on Smallmouth/Largemouth through August & the return my focus to Stripers come fall. Just had some recent High school graduates that came out with me & caught their first fish on a fly rod! This was a super rewarding trip, these boys graduated on a tough year with Covid19 but their futures are bright & it was fun to celebrate with them!

If you are into Largemouth/Smallmouth Topwater or just trying to get someone into the sport give me a call for a summer date. Also, if you want to get a jump on a Fall Striper dates just let me know as well.

Spring Striper season is winding down & I am making the transition to Summer Largemouth & Smallmouth trips. Spring Striper season was challenging with Covid 19 but some exciting surprises were still a reality! A personal highlight was a 25+lb Striper that gave me an incredible battle that I will never forget! The Stripers will return to the Delta this Fall but now it is time to focus on Topwater Largemouth & Smallmouth for the summer!

Also, if you want to get a jump on a Fall Striper date just let me know as well. I know this has been a challenging time for so many & my heart goes out to all those impacted. That said, maybe a relaxing day on the water is just what a person could use, cheers!

I hope all is well with our Lost Coast fishing community.. The Delta experienced an influx of fish during late  April and fishing was very good thru  Mid May.  Most of our Striper's have begun there journey back to the Bay and Ocean Beaches.  Striper's can still be caught but they are not as predictable or abundant as prior months.
Large Mouth Bass and Small Mouth Bass are the best game in town  It's time to break out your floating lines and fish  some Top Water.
San Luis Reservoir just opened up for boating and fishing and is red hot.  Catching numbers of Stripers  in the three to five pound range is the norm and there is always a chance for a big one.

Fishing bounced back this week.  Wind dropped and the water warmed and we had some nice fishing.  This has been a strange year to all Delta anglers.  It's really hard to find schools of Striper but it can be good if you find them.

Delta Striper fishing dropped off last week with the sudden cold snap and violent North Winds.  The fishing is improving with the warmer days and a stable weather pattern.  The Striper's that we are catching are super fat and strong.  Medium and Large size Clousers are catching the bulk of the fish.
