Can you imagine, the Little Truckee is fishing like the East Walker? Hang tough, it gets better!

Truckee River Outfitters

Flows are still really high at 823 CFS. Water is coming over the top of Stampede and this should keep the flows up for a while. It is definitely fishable but it does not look like the Little Truckee you are used to. Water is out of the banks in some places and there are side channels that are normally dry. It looks more like the Big Truckee than the Little Truckee. That being said, fish it like you would the Bit river; heavier tippet (4x-6x) and more weight if you are fishing sinking flies. There are still some of the same things happening that you would normally see when the flows are more normal as well. BWO's, PMD's and even some Green Drakes have been hatching over the past week. The difference is where the fish are holding and how you are going to approach the water. Pretty much like the East Walker right now, fish the edges and seems out of the main current. Crossing probably is not a great idea now either.
