• Top fishing spots this week in Central CA: Lake McSwain, New Melones, Shaver Lake, Stockton (modbee.com) — Anglers are starting to see a few salmon caught from the banks around Benicia as fall runs slowly build in the Delta. A broader Central California report notes improving striped bass and salmon activity from Antioch to Walnut Grove, along with detailed conditions at popular lakes and reservoirs for trout, kokanee, bass, and rockfish as late‑summer patterns settle in.
