The flows have dropped a bit on the LT, holding around 320 CFS today, which is down from 550 just a week ago. These flows will provide quite a bit more holding water for the trout and will fish much truer to form of what one would expect from the Little Truckee, but is still a bit high compared to it’s average flows of around 60-120. The dry fly fishing out here has been good recently, with a large focus on the daily emergence of PMDs, as we as a few green drakes and caddis. Be sure to put a big focus on fishing the emerger patterns of these bugs, while using light tippet and long leaders for your best results. The hatches of PMDs have been mid-day around 11 or so. Sometimes lasting a couple hours, other times most of the afternoon. The caddis have been active throughout the day and largely in the evenings. The drakes are one you just must be lucky enough to run into. However, when you do and you have the right pattern to match them, it can be truly magical. The current flows are also fantastic for nymph fishing, and the best way to present them would be via a euro rod. No bobber, no unrealistic foam hopper, just a stealthy presentation and quick strike detection. For the dry flies, 6x tippet would be a must, with a lot of the regulars opting for 7x, 12 foot leaders will also help keep your flies further away from your line to avoid spooking fish, and this will also help achieve a more natural drift. For euro nymphing, typically 6x fluoro is sufficient. As we head into the busiest point of the year, consider fishing at odd times of the day to avoid the crowds. You can also try different sections of the river, which may hold fewer fish, but they will be far less pressured.
