Did a quick run for Stripers on Wednesday

I knew the Delta would be muddy and feature a lot of floating debris, but the wind was nil - weather was nice - and this being the last of the warm days, I went anyway.

The water was really dirty as I expected. Visibility appeared to be about a foot. I fished streamers around Sherman Lake, and chatted with one other fellow brave enough to take his boat out ... both of us blanked. A lot of folks launching traditional craft and I saw at least one other kayak angler, but I saw no fish.

I fished the three hours of incoming and an hour of the outgo, with no grabs.

The water color is the issue as flies are simply not visible enough to draw the fish in unless you're lucky enough to hit him in the nose.

Had a great trip just the same, will return once the waters lose a little color.

Thanks for the report. Get 'em next time 

Sounds like you gave it a good go. Thanks for the report.

I’m headed out looking for stripers this Friday. Headed out of Martinez and am going to go up river and fish some of the little slue’s.
