The Little Truckee has seen a big increase in flows this week, going from 150 CFS to 300+ over the last couple of days. This will likely throw the fishing off a bit for a few days, likely through the weekend. Once things stabilize, the nymph fishing should be excellent! We have seen the baetis nymphs remain the most consistent producer over the last few weeks, but we are also catching fish on worms, eggs, midges, caddis pupa and PMD nymphs. Having a variety of bugs at your disposal out here is a great way to unlock the code of this picky tailwater on any given day. At 300 CFS, we hope to see the fish spread out a bit more and allow for more areas to provide good fishing, in turn spreading out anglers a bit more as the river gets busier with the nice weather. This bump in flows will likely also push some

fish from the lake into the river and also probably initiate the spawn for the rainbows. Please be sure to avoid fishing to any actively spawning fish, fishing or walking near any redds, or otherwise disturbing these vulnerable fish at this time.
