Delta Fishing Report

Report Updated Feb. 24, 2010

RAIN…AGAIN!

The weather has made a turn for the worse this week (though we’ll take all the rain we can get!), and that’s kept most guys off the Delta so far. There have been a few guys out sniffing around for sturgeon around the Powerlines and Pittsburg, but the bite has been iffy in the rain and wind.

Stripers are definitely starting to stir, but the key is going to be finding clear water in which to chase them. Your best bets are going to be the south and eastern sections of the Delta.

About the Sacramento Delta

There are hundreds and hundreds of miles of waterways down here that you could literally spend a couple lifetimes exploring and not see half of it. From a fishing standpoint, there’s something going on pretty much year-round here. The kings come through in September and October and the place loads up with striped bass in the fall and they hang around all winter until the urge to procreate coaxes them upstream in teh spring. Sturgeon are also available fall, winter and spring and then you’ve got excellent black bass, catfish and panfishing to keep you busy all summer.
