Tips for the Week

Anglers should be sneaky when fishing the Little Truckee River. The lower water levels here allow the fish to spook easily. With algae an issue in some parts also, nymphing is tough to do at the Little Truckee River. The most productive techniques for anglers right now have been using hopper droppers or dry fly fishing.

Suggested Flies
