The Little Truckee has had a steady flow of 125 CFS coming out of Stampede for a month or so now and while the fishing has been good, expect to fish around other anglers if opting to fish here for the day. If you’re looking to try some quieter sections of this tailwater, consider fishing from the inlet up to the bat cave or around the Boyington Mill campground, while there may be less fish you could very well find that one big lake run fish that hasn’t been inundated with fake bugs all day every day. The dry fly fishing here has seemed to slow with the shift in weather over the last week and most anglers are doing best fishing nymphs, in particular when used on a tightline setup to maintain a stealthy approach and have improved strike detection. As per usual, 6x tippet has helped when fishing here, especially when fishing your size 18’s and below.
