Re: Delta water clearity
I was out yesterday (4/11/2018) in the Franks Tract area. It wasnt that bad. I'd say 1-2 feet of visibility, maybe more. You really couldnt see the beds though other than maybe a lighter color on the bottom. I couldnt see fish on beds though. It was a tough day. One small male fish and 4 dinks.
