Delta water clarity
Delta water clarity
Fished the delta on 7/1. Launched at Ladds and fished up to Frank's tract. The water clarity was pretty bad 1-1.5 ft visibility everywhere we fished. I don't fish the delta much, just wondering if it clears up farther north.
Re: Delta water clarity
Delta rookie here, but with three trips under the belt from B&W marina always heading south, the answer is "yes" right now. We fished Old River below Franks today and it was definitely less clear than the Molekumne (sp?), Potato slough, Georgianne slough areas.
Re: Delta water clarity
Wind direction, boat traffic, bottom composition and the amount of grass play into the clarity. Some areas can have 3-4' of visibility at times.
Fear does not prevent death, it prevents life.
You've never lived until you've almost died and for those who have fought for it, life has a whole new flavor that the protected will never know....

Re: Delta water clarity
I'm guessing the OP was fishing the bottom end of the tide? I've noticed a big clarity difference between high and low the past week. High is bringing a few feet of super clear water, while the low has a more tannic stain with a noticable reduction in visibility. Bite has been decent on either end though, good times.
Re: Delta water clarity
Thanks for the responses guys. Yeah, was out there at bottom of the tide, did notice a small difference In clarity as the water came up. Like I said, am a delta novice so still working at it.
