Latest Delta report from Steve Cooper. Overall, largemouth numbers are good.... but quality is not. 12–16 inchers, with anything over 3.5 lbs hard to come by. Vegetation is healthy with 5–7 ft of visibility in the central Delta. A solid topwater bite runs roughly 90 minutes starting at first light, then it's all about punching small shallow mats...

Vegetation is healthy with 5–7 ft of visibility in the central Delta. A solid topwater bite runs roughly 90 minutes starting at first light, then it's all about punching small shallow mats, mini chatterbaits in green pumpkin/craw and bluegill colors, and worming.
Stripers are being caught on largemouth baits, while dedicated striper guys are drifting live bluegill in current for decent numbers but few big fish.
Went up around Kennedy Meadows area working up and down the river with my son and daughter for almost 2 days. Caught and released 146 between the 3 of us. Dad is still tops on the tally board.
Took my 7 year old grandson up this morning for his first river fishing trip with his new ultra light. Fished along highway 108 up towards Kennedy Meadows. He caught and released 25. I think his expectations are gonna be high from now on. Lots of fun.
