Delta

The Delta is clearing fast this week and there is more water to fish.  It’s challenging but you can find some nicer fish if you work over your water carefully.  Water temps are from 58 to 62 degrees.

Flies of all kinds are hatching and folks are catching...

The water is clear and the fish can be anywhere.  Try stonefly nymphs and mayflies and don’t be shy of the dry fly.

We have been seeing Salmonflies midday along with March Browns …....
