TOP PICKS
DELTA REGIONSACRAMENTO RIVER side -- The Rio Vista Bait shop reported a 16-pound striper was taken just below the Rio Vista Bridge on anchovies. Another angler had limits of stripers to 6 pounds, caught on pileworms. Trolling should start to pick up on the west bank, with the usual suspects like Yo-Zuri's, Rebels and bombers, trailed with a white or chartreuse colored worms.SAN JOAQUIN RIVER side -- While many fished frogs others tried Senkos for their go-to bait. Shad and crawfish patterns were also good bait.FOLSOM LAKE -- Anglers are enjoying the 5-mph speed limit. Quieter waters have led to bass to 5 pounds by working plastic worms over ledges and rock piles close to the river channel. Top-water lures, crank baits and spinner baits have also been accounting for fish early before bass are driven deeper.LAKE BERRYESSA - Kokanee limits went from 16 to 18 inches this week on setups that included Sep's 3/0 watermelon dodgers and a blue-glow Hoochie, Sep's 3/0 chrome starlight dodger with an UV pink Apex, Uncle Larry's hot belly tiger and Uncle Larry's pink passion spinner. Fish took their time to chew, though, and most schools did not respond. The main body held all the fish, not the dam area.
