Bryce Tedford: Fall season is approaching & with that comes an interesting fishing period on the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta & many of our Northern CA fisheries. Kids are going back to school, summer is winding down & Fall is approaching but not quite here yet! Fall is a great time for Stripers on the Delta but September is a good time for multiple 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. That said, this past week on the Delta we have found all 3 species & sometimes all 3 in the same day. 

My October & November for Stripers is all but filled up, Fall should be great on the Delta with fish moving in to heavily feed & forage before Winter. That said, September is a 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 a few remaining openings this September if you want to jump on the boat & see all that the Delta has to offer, Book your trip soon!
