Delta Fishing Report

Report Updated Jan. 17, 2012

STRIPERS STUMBLE

The water temps are down into the high 40′s now and that’s making the stripers pretty sluggish. If you can find a batch of them, they’ll bite but that’s been the problem…finding the fish. Over on the Rio Vista side, the water has been muddy on the out-go since the North wind blew a week back. It cleans up nicely on the incoming tide, however.

Guide JD Richey says he has been spooning and throwing Alabama rigs lately with modest success but is encouraged by the in-bound rain, which should help to warm things up. Get temps back into the low 50′s and the fishing could go Koo-koo!

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.
