Hello Fly Anglers!
Have you noticed the declining weights in Delta bass tournaments? Lack of salmon / salmon season in 2008/2009? Reduced #s of striped bass and sturgeon? Have you noticed sea lions in the Delta? What do think about the precipitous drop in baitfish (Delta Smelt)? These are all signs of an unhealthy ecosystem.
The amount of water exported from the Delta has increased significantly over the past 9 years and certain powerful interests are planning to take more water, IF THEY HAVE THEIR WAY (Proposition 18, the CA Water Bond)

The fish in the Delta need the water flows to be restored and/or increased in order to survive. Now is the perfect time to join up with other fishermen to protect our favorite fishery: the Sacramento / San Joaquin Delta.
Please join us on October 17th for a Benefit Bass Tournament at Russo's Marina. This event will be a benefit for Restore the Delta (www.restorethedelta.org) and the California Sport Fishing Protection Alliance (www.calsport.org); two organizations that are fighting to protect the flows necessary to keep the Delta ecosystem alive.
Two thirds of the entry fee will be a tax deductible donation to Restore the Delta and The California Sport Fishing Protection Alliance. The remaining one third will be paid back 100%. Multiple 100% payback options will be available. A BBQ and raffle will take place at the weigh-in to give back to our anglers.
We will have three divisions (each division will compete for a separate pot of money):
Boat Team Tournament - $150 per team ($100 donation, $50 will be paid back 100%)
Fly Fishing Team Tournament - $150 per team ($100 donation, $50 will be paid back 100%)
Kickboat / Kayak Individual Tournament - $75 per person ($50 donation, $25 will be paid back 100%)
