The Little Truckee is still running around 200 CFS. It has been steady now for about 11 days. The water in Stampede reservoir is being used to help fuel the lower Truckee River right now. At 200 CFS the water is back in the banks and should start to fish pretty good once the water stops dropping. Right now Nymphing with smaller bugs and smaller tippet in the size 18-20 and 5X range is a good way to start. Midges, Baetis, PMD's and San Juan Worms are worth trying. As the water gets lower and clearer it is going to be way more important to take on a more stealthy approach at the Little Truckee. Look for a PMD hatch report very soon.
