Currently, the most effective fishing technique for the Little Truckee River is dry fly fishing. It's best to target the morning and evening periods, as these times are when you're most likely to get bites. During these times, there's a noticeable increase in hatches, making it more likely for the fish to be actively feeding. However, the afternoons tend to be slow, and the fish are not rising to feed as much. To successfully fish the Little Truckee River at this time, anglers should opt for long leaders, light tippet, and small flies to maintain a stealthy approach.
