April and May are always a gamble with the wind here and the Delta. But there is always somewhere to fish out of the wind.The lake has been like glass almost all of Jan And Feb. I hope this storm fills the lake and gives it some color.

There is no way to predict the weather patterns in northern Calif during the spring. Last year it rained most of Feb and off and on thru June! This year a Jan-Feb mini-drought until tonight. We can usually predict the wind however. Traditionally the coastal weather pattern with afternoon and evening winds begins about the 3rd week of March and lasts to the end of Sept. That is just the general pattern - storms have their own weather pattern. Your best bet is to try to fish during a warming trend as the wind will blow in the afternoon but not as bad. Mornings thru early afternoon are usually nice. Again - as a rule! There are ALWAYS exceptions at Clear Lake!!!

Given your choice of the last week of April or last week of May I would definitely go April. Unfortunately the wind here is just flat a tricky deal.
