RIO VISTA FISHING PLACES
The stretch of waterways between Rio Vista and the Bay Area are not only some of the best the West Coast has to offer for Windsurfing but it is also the premier fishing region for striped bass, sturgeon, salmon, black bass and catfish! On many windless days throughout the year I have spent countless hours enjoying this resource in a catch-and-release approach. This is why Windcraft supports this activity in the area - for its family and its environmental pleasures. Respect both and we'll have both for many future generations.
We've got the live bait: bullhead, mudsuckers, grass shrimp, pile worms, blood worms.
We encourage both windsurfers and fishermen alike to respect private property and pack out your garbage!
