Spring is over for another 2 weeks, ugh. Good news is the fishing will be awesome. 

Spring sprung on the Truckee River. Looks like Winter will return for a bit though. We should get some great mid-day dry fly fishing. Blue wings and march browns should pop good on cloudy days. The march browns can get some good fish on the surface. 

The streamer fishing will be good too. Cloudy spring days are best. The big fish come on the streamers. 

Of course you can always get them on the nymphs. Remember, Spring is when the biggest bugs come out. So up sizing your nymphs is good now until about August. Skwalas, march browns, pmds, green drakes, goldens stones, they all get active in Spring. 

Run-off spreaking..Well, it looks to stay cold for the next 10 days with not a lot rain, so I don't see the river getting much higher until it warms up, or they start letting more water out of Boca.
