The LT continues to see good flows for this time of year, sitting at 125 as of today. Being that this is one of only a handful of tailwaters in our area, you do have the option to fish here at any point of the day. However, because of this you can count on it being busy. Despite the pressure, the Little Truckee continues to fish very well day in, day out, so long as you have the right bugs and a good presentation. Your best bet for patterns will be anything that represents PMDs. Be sure to cover all life stages of this insect, be it nymphs, emergers, duns and spinners, as the fish are hyper keyed into these daily cycles. Other bugs on their menu may be midges, baetis, green drakes, and caddis. Odds are with these; they will be most effective in their nymph/pupae stage. As this river continues to see a lot of use, we encourage you to spread out and try some different sections of river or fish during odd hours of the day to avoid fishing too close to others.
