Old River - Tracy, CA
River Information
| Fish Species: |
Old River, Tracy, CA, a major distributary within the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta, is a highly productive tidal fishery. It is renowned for its prolific striped bass and largemouth bass populations, complemented by abundant catfish and panfish. Optimal angling is profoundly dictated by tidal currents; fishing changing tides (incoming/outgoing) consistently yields heightened activity. Techniques include casting diverse lures or utilizing live/cut bait for striped bass, and pitching jigs/plastics for largemouth around vegetation. Boat access is paramount for comprehensive coverage, though limited bank access exists. Anglers must meticulously consult tidal charts and adhere to CDFW regulations for sustainable success in this dynamic estuarine environment.
