Spring Striper Season On The Delta!

[Bryce Tedford]

Spring Delta Fishing Report:

Spring Striper fishing on the Delta has been up & down but we have had some good days out there! That said, we have had a windy week which has made it very challenging to target the fish. Wind casting skills are currently at a premium. Water temperatures are nearing 60 degrees in various parts of the Delta & Stripers will likely spawn in the next few weeks. Last few times out I have I been averaging 10-20 fish, most fish we have been finding are smaller “schoolies” but 3-5lb fish are mixed in & the occasional larger fish can be found as well! For sub-surface Stripers I am using 1/0-3/0 rattle style Clouser flies in various color combinations. This year I have been running all over the Delta to make it happen so burning a lot of fuel & running hard out there. Get out fishing or book your Spring Delta adventure soon before it’s all over! I wrap up Spring Stripers come June 15, then turn my attention to Smallmouth Bass with light rods & poppers June 15-Sept 15, then back to Stripers Sept. 15- Dec. 24!
