Flows are 60 CFS. It's been a pretty standard summer on the Little Truckee. Mid day hatches, clear cold water and very technical fishing. The flows are starting to go down which is also a very normal event for this time of year. The PMD hatch has lasted a long time this year and there are still signs of it mid day. As the flows get lower it is even more important to have a stealthy approach. The Little Truckee is not a place to make hundreds of blind casts with two flies and an indicator. The fish have been there and done that. A better way to approach the Little Truckee is to treat it more like a hunting expedition. Walk slowly, look for rising fish (or just fish in general) and make fewer casts in productive looking areas, don't wear bright clothes or hats and give the fish a break from repeated casting and most important of all as the water gets lower is to stay out of the water as much as possible. Anglers with this type of approach are the ones with their nets out more often. The Little Truckee is an awesome fishery that has its own style and can be very rewarding with the correct approach. Nymphing is tough right now due to low flows and lots of moss on the bottom. Check your flies often.
