The flows on the Little Truckee are holding very strong yet again this week, at 135 CFS. But for how long? With Stampede getting lower every week, we anticipate there will be a point soon in which the flows on the LT will bottom out. As of now, this is looking like another great week to be fishing out here, with its good flows, cold water and awesome dry fly fishing. The daily hatches of PMDs have the fish rising consistently as anglers work hard to trick these very selective fish. There is also some caddis in the evenings and a few green drakes lingering throughout the day, but convincing a fish to take these patterns on top is far less likely than those little pink mayflies. Carry PMDs in all their life stages for your best chances of finding a fish on top. The nymph fishing also remains excellent and can be good all day or when hatches aren’t present. Euro nymphing, indicator fishing and dry dropper fishing can all be effective ways to present subsurface, but all will still require a good level of fineness.
