Do I need any additional enhancement stickers to fish with the Delta Region?

Yes you will need the delta stamp also.

What does this new stamp cover? I was told it applies to the northern regions of the Delta only, past some point of demarcation, or one guy thought it had to do with the multi-species angle (salmon/striper/sturgeon, etc.).

I'm confused. Anybody here have a handle on what it's required for?

The Bay-Delta stamp is required for fishing for ANY fish anywhere east of the Golden Gate bridge throughout the bay, into the delta and up the tributaries to the first dam.

That's a lot of water. Most of the freshwater in the state.

Hey wait a minute! Doesn't the license say freshwater and saltwater?

Hmmm... Sounds like the DFG is double dipping to me. :o

Here ya go Jeff.
The stamp replaced the Striped bass stamp in 2004.
It will be required to fish any of the Delta region events.
