John,
You have some good advice already. I would consider going a little heavier on your tackle for the locations mentioned. Delta/Clear lake it can be nice to have two 20lb setups, especially if the flip bite is good.
I would make sure you bring a decent selection of rattle traps. You simply can't go wrong at the three places you mentioned with a rattle trap. LV500 is a good one to start with.
Senko should also be high on the list. Senkos simply catch a lot of fish at the Delta and Clear Lake. Doesn't matter what time of year. Green pumpkin, watermelon/red, black/blue or a shad pattern are all good. There's times at the delta where you just get too many bites on senkos to pass it up.
You might also consider a swimbait rod with some waking baits like Slammer for all the locaitons and some sinking baits like hudd (for Berryessa).
