Delta: Catch largemouth bass and striped bass in the Delta in Stockton, a popular spot with anglers.  The water is clear, so anglers recommend using bright colored bait.  On windy days, they recommend using spinnerbait to bring in the catch.

The southern portion of the Delta is teeming with undersized striped bass, though some folks have reported catching bass as long as 23" to 25" in the Brookside Road area.

Anglers note that salmon has been harder to catch in recent years and the ones who have been able to reel in some salmon have reported doing so in Stockton's Walnut Grove area.

Lake San Pedro:  The lake is teeming with rainbow trout and spotted bass, with the latter species usually feeding on shad in big schools across the shelves of the shoreline.  there are shallow and deep spots in the lake, with trout often lurking in the more extreme depths.

There is a speed limit of five mph from the Blue Oaks recreation Area ramp all the way to the Buoy Line at Fleming Bay.
