We are pleased to see flows remain stable this week on the Little Truckee despite predictions of it dropping it to a meager 45 CFS. As of today, it is hovering at +/- 60 CFS. At these flows the dry fly bite will be excellent, and nymphing is still a fair option. While PMD’s remain the most consistent hatch, we are also seeing the baetis ramp back up making fly selection a bit more complicated on any given day. The PMD’s are about a size 16-18 and are continuing to come off like clockwork mid-day. While the baetis are quite a bit smaller at a size 20-22 and aren’t hatching as consistently, the fish will absolutely key in on them over PMD’s at times. We expect that is likely due to the pressure the fish have received from anglers fishing PMD patterns most of the summer. We have also seen the odd hatch of the seldom talked about mahogany dun out here and although they are less consistent, imitating these large mayflies can catch the otherwise picky LT trout off guard. As the flows decrease, the tippet diameter should also, 6x is the norm out here right now, with some swearing by 7x to up their odds. Nymphing will be a bit tougher with the low flows and this is where the use of unweighted flies with a small piece of split shot can really shine. This will help keep your presentation just off the bottom and keep you cleaning your flies of algae a bit less often. When indicator fishing, the use of small white or clear bobbers or even yarn will keep your offering a bit stealthier and can make a big difference. If opting for a dry dropper, a foamy hopper pattern will be your best bet. For fly patterns, we suggest size 16-18 melon quills, cripple duns, challenged PMD’s, or pink film critics to imitate the PMDs. For the baetis we recommend size 20-22 hackle stackers, silhouette dun BWOs, olive mole flies or gray RS-2s. for Mahogany Duns we’ve been liking size 14 rusty spinners, and hi-viz spinners.
