Current Water Conditions

Flows on the Little Truckee River are low between Stampede and Boca and are currently running around 47 CFS. Fishing can be inconsistent with the lower flows that the river currently has. Browns should start their spawn soon here as well. With the current flows and browns spawning soon, it is recommended to give this fishery a break and fish elsewhere.

Water Temperatures

Water temps are averaging in the mid 50s°F.

Hatches

No hatch to report.

Effective Tactics

With the river running low and the browns spawning soon, river anglers should focus their efforts on the Truckee River instead.

Catch Report

With the lower flows, most of the fish are hanging around the inlet to Boca Reservoir. Fish the Truckee River instead for more bites.
