Flows are 301 CFS. They have gone from 230 CFS from last week and have been holding at the new level for 5 days now. This makes the Little Truckee really fun to fish if you know it well.

Fish do not have to stay in the deeper pools as much and they get really spread out. New holding areas are created from the higher flows and fish can be caught in places that are too shallow to fish at lower levels. Nymphing with a Dry as an indicator is a good way to start. At 300 CFS streamer fishing is also worth a try. There is not much in the way of a hatch right now but the PMD's and Green Drakes are not too far off.
