Delta tops list of 7 best site fishing lakes in America

[WB Staff]

If there’s one thing consistent about the late spring/early summer period, it’s that the bass in your part of the country will probably be in some phase of the spawn. Even in the extreme south, there are likely still a few stragglers on beds this time of year, and seeing a big female bass locked on a spawning bed is like a drug to many anglers – a test of wills in its purest form.

If you like sight fishing and want to take a fishing road trip – here are some of the best destinations in the world. Check one out this year.

OK, so they’re not ALL lakes, but you get the point. With literally thousands of acres of shallow canals, drainage ditches, flats, and bays – the California Delta offers bass virtually unlimited amounts of suitable fish spawning habitat. Did we mention it’s also got some giant bass? Although the Delta doesn’t have super clear water, the tides and copious grass beds usually keep it clear enough to spot a giant locked on her nest.

Anyone think Clear lake should be #1? Those fish are so easy to catch when they're up it almost takes the fun out of it.

If the politicians get their way and reduce size and limit of bass in the Delta, there goes that #1 rating. Plus the millions of dollars loss to the economy that bass fishing brings to businesses.
