Re: how do we define the CA Delta regions.?
Depending on where you want to fish you can slide your Yak in at Paradise Point in Dissapointment and this would give you lots of access to very good fishing water without being on the main channel. Holland or Orwood is a great marina for heading south. For going North - drop in at Wimpy's lots of o...

For me middle delta = from Mokelumne or mouth of the Sac to the Orwood \ Middle River bridge trussels. North is North of the Moe or North of where the Sac meets the San Joaquin. South anything south of Orowood (Old River) Deep South = Tracy Oasis and further " The River" being the Main Shi...
