Message from the Board of Directors - December 2025

Greetings Rooster Tails!

Well, we have completed another year here at the Rooster Tails and we hope you have had a good time sharing fishing stories and tips with us. It's been a challenging year, again, but we are in hopes things continue to improve for our fishing adventures.

There is no meeting for the month of December so we hope you enjoy your holidays with family and friends and we look forward to seeing you in the new year. Our best to you all!

Clyde Wands is scheduled to be our January speaker and he will be sharing tips on fishing for stripers. Clyde is a long time member of the Rooster Tails and has been fishing the Delta for many years. We look forward to spending time with him.

We wish you happy holidays and good fortune in the upcoming year!

Winter is here with fog in the valley and Delta and sunshine in the foothills and Sierra. With a ridge of high pressure hanging over most of northern California the prospects for rain have been slim, making it a great time to get out and enjoy some fishing. The trip over the summit is clear and Pyramid continues to fish well. With water temps dropping LCTs are coming up in the water column and foraging closer to shore. The Delta and SF Bay are also producing good striper action. The ocean is still producing great rock fishing and crabbing. For those who are looking to scratch their competitive itch there is the NorCal Trout Anglers Challenge starting in February and ending in November with most events taking place in the Spring.
