Flows are pretty great for this time of year. Great wading flows. Little skinny on the raft, but manageable. Nymphing will still get you the most fish.

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

The Truckee has been fishing great this week with a good number of small fish still being caught and a handful of larger fish now in the mix.
