With the introduction of Florida Strain Largemouth Bass some 10 years ago or more, the California Delta, reportedly, has grown into one of the premeire bass waters in the nation. Here are some photo's illustrating my re-discovery of these waters and my bass fishing hobby this year.

Hi Chavez,
I believe the city that is talked about most in reference to the California Delta, is Stockton. However, with over 1000 miles of waterway, the Delta stretches across, by and through a lot of different towns.
To give you an idea, here are couple of images:

There is definetly something special about the California Delta. It is an amazing fishery and not just for bass, but many different fish including stripers. It sure is fun to be cranking along a weedline and have a giant striper just crush the bait and take off down river or throwing a spook for'em. I love the delta, its just a great place to fish granted it has kicked my butt many of times, but thats what keeps me going back, the fish and the river are constantly changing so you have to be constantly figuering them out, there always changing places especially with our tides switching every six hours. There are lots of giants in the delta just a couple of weeks ago a kid in a tourney I was in brought in a 13-4, just an awesome delta bass. Lots of big fish get caught out here.

CZ It is by far my favorite place to fish. I can always put fish in the boat no matter what time of year. By far one of the best Bass fisheries in the country
