Seasonal Activity Chart
Striped Bass
Striped bass fishing near American Canyon centers around the Napa River and its connection to the San Pablo Bay. While not as consistent as the Delta, the Napa River sees runs of stripers, especially during their spring migration to spawn. These fish are often chasing schools of baitfish, so look for surface activity or use your electronics to locate schools of fish. Trolling deep-diving crankbaits or casting swimbaits along the deeper channels can be effective. The fall months can also produce, as stripers move back into the river to feed before winter. A popular access point is the Napa River Bay Trail, which offers bank fishing opportunities. Remember to check the regulations, as striped bass fishing is subject to size and bag limits. Local tip: Pay close attention to the salinity levels in the river. Stripers tend to prefer slightly brackish water.
