The Little Truckee has dropped 50 CFS this week and as of today it sits at 150 CFS, which is still a very respectable flow for this time of year. This will make for great fishing using a variety of techniques, and one can effectively fish with a euro nymph setup, a dry dropper rig, or a dry fly right now. Like the main river we’ve seen the PMD’s really begin to take off, and anyone that’s fished the Little Truckee before knows the significance of this bug here, they will be a mainstay for the entire summer and most of the fall, so if you don’t have a good assortment stop in and load up, we are well stocked on these. The dry fly bite has become more consistent recently as the water temps rise, flows drop and we see some nicer weather, and the hatches of midges, BWO’s and now PMD’s have become consistent enough to justify having a dedicated dry fly set up rigged up and ready to go if/when these hatches ensue. With the additional fishing pressure and recent drop in flows, using 6x-7x tippet and maintaining a stealthy approach onto a run will become increasingly important, and can help you tie into one of the trophy fish this tailwater holds, of course actually landing it on such light gear is another story.
