Flows on the L.T. are 90 CFS. This is really good compared to August 15th last year when the flows were 60 CFS. The bad news is the PMD hatch is all but over. Even though the water comes out of the bottom of Stampede Reservoir it is warmer this year for sure. The weeds and moss on the bottom of the river is brutal right now. There are less big fish in the river and Nymphing is a pain. It only takes one or two drifts to get moss on your flies. Nymphing with a two fly rig is really tough. The bottom fly gets moss on it on almost every cast. That coupled with almost no dry fly activity is making the Little Truckee really tough. There also seems to be way less big fish in the Little Truckee this year. There are a lot of 5-8 inch fish being caught.
