With Donner Creek pumping in 110 CFS of water, the Glenshire Drive stretch of the river is flowing around 130 CFS and the fish up here are happier. We’ve had good reports of dry fly fishing up in this area, typically coming off mid-day. The bugs present will be both BWO’s and Midges, with the baetis in a size 18-20 and midges in sizes 18-22. With bugs this small and water this clear, we recommend using 6x tippet to up your odds. The canyon section of the Truckee River is still hanging around 275 CFS just below the confluence of Boca. With these flows, using heavy rigs won’t be quite as vital and as fish push back into the slow deep runs, we’ve been doing best on unweighted flies with size AB or AAA split fished at 6-8 feet, focusing on the tailouts, drop-offs, and seams off boulders in otherwise froggy water. The bite will be best mid-day, so sleep in, drink your coffee and focus on a 11 o’clock start time.
