Flows on the Truckee in Nevada are from 1690-1770cfs depending on what stretch of the river you are on. The river is BLOWN OUT!! It'll fish best when flows are below 500cfs. Nymphing has been the way to go all day. Fish have been coming up for BWO's in the afternoon, but will slow with this cold snap. Look to the longer, deeper runs to be holding fish.

Recommended Flies:
Nymphs
Pheasant Tails 12-18's, Tiger Worms 10, Copper, Copper Johns 12-18's, Psycho Prince 12-16.

Dries
BWO's 12-16 (YES you read that right!) BWO emergers 12-16, Parachute Adams 12-18, there has been a lot of midges hatching as well but hardly any fish are keyed in on them.
Streamers
Olive, White, and Black Buggers, Olive and Black Woolhead Sculpins on a slow swing will pick up fish as well!
