Here is a Delta fishing report by Captain Bryce Tedford:

September  is approaching and with that comes an interesting fishing period on  the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. Kids are going back to school, summer  is winding down & Fall is coming but not quite here yet. Fall is a  great time for Stripers on the Delta but September is a good time for  multiple Delta species on a fly rod!

September on the Delta is an interesting time of year as Smallmouth, Largemouth & Stripers are all on the table. The biggest challenge is what to focus on & which species to hunt. These three Bass species generally require different tactics, areas & focus but this past week on the Delta we have found all 3 species & sometimes all 3 on the same day. 

My October & November for Stripers is all but filled up, if you are looking for a Fall date you need to book ASAP as there are a few dates left as I write this. That said, September is an very interesting crossover month where you can target all that the Delta has to offer. We can strip Clousers for Stripers & Largemouth looking for bait fish, we can throw large Topwater frogs & Topwater baitfish for Largemouth or we can fish light rods with sz 6 poppers & light jigs for eager Smallmouth. Frankly, we can do whatever you are into & just have fun chasing & catching fish. I have plenty of openings this September if you want to jump on the boat & see all that the Delta has to offer. Book your adventure soon through Confluence Outfitters & let’s go fishing!
