The Sacramento Delta is one of my favorite places. The Delta offers a unique network of waterways with many places for fish to hide. The spring is probably the best season in the Delta for big fish, but the fall is also a heavy producer of lunker-size bass as well as numbers of bass.

Clear Lake, known as the bass capital of the west, is another favorite of mine. Clear Lake is the largest lake in California with a total shoreline of 100 miles. Even with its large size, the lake is very shallow, averaging only 10-15′. The entire 43,000 acre lake has quality fishing year round.

Shasta is a lake that you can easily get lost on. With 29,500 acres of surface area and 370 miles of shoreline, they have had to put up signs to help boaters figure out where they are. Each finger of the lake branches multiple times creating countless areas to get away from the jetskis, wakeboarders, and water skiers, allowing for a peaceful day on the water. Large Mouth, Spotted, and Small Mouth bass make up the population in Shasta. There are plenty of 50 fish days on this body of water, depending on the time of year. It is not uncommon to see deer and bear roaming the shorelines.The backdrop of wooded mountains against the vibrant red clay dirt of the shoreline make for a truly spectacular site.

Information: Season is open all year, and the limit is five (5) w/ a 12″ size limit. Please read your Fish and Game regulations.

Accomodations: Shasta offers camping as well, Redding has a number of hotels in town, and Bridge Bay resort on the lake is a wonderful resort right on the lake.

Lake Oroville is another great lake to fish in. Large Mouth and Spotted bass make up the population, with the Spotted bass being the abundant species. It is not uncommon to have 50+ fish days of exciting spotted bass fishing. An occasional big fish really makes a great day on the water.
