The Little Truckee has seen another bump in flows and is up from 100 CFS last week to 150 CFS today. This is great news for the rainbow trout spawn and let’s keep our finger crossed that these flows remain consistent for another month or greater to give these fish ample areas to do the deed and we don’t see a drastic drop in flows to leave any spawning beds high and dry. As expected with the increase to 100 CFS last week we have heard many reports of fish starting their spawn up here and during this time we highly encourage you to fish elsewhere to give these fish space. If you are still opting to fish here, please do your part to familiarize yourself with the behavior of spawning trout and be sure to avoid these fish at all costs to ensure future populations of wild trout in our beloved waters.

While we feel the best policy is to stay off the river during this time, it is not technically illegal and there are still ethical ways to fish here over the next month. If you have any questions on this please don’t hesitate to ask, we are happy to help as we feel we have a unique opportunity in the education of stewardship in our community.
