The flows have dropped from a steady 200 CFs down to 90 CFS over the past week. Fish that were really spread out before are going to start to congregate in some of the larger holes on the Little Truckee. We have had a pretty good PMD hatch which is very common for this time of year on the L.T. As the water gets lower it is way more important to make less casts. The Little Truckee is really more of a spot and stalk type of river when it gets below 100 CFs. Fish are going to get spooky from low water and fishing pressure over the next few weeks and it is a way better idea to look more and cast less. Look for fish, make a few drifts and give them a break. Change locations often and then come back to an area and try it again. Plop after plop with an indicator rig will not help your success rate on the Little Truckee with lower flows. PMD nymphs and dries in size 16-18 are a must to have in your box right now. Make sure you have some floatant along with you to keep your dries riding high. This time of year even the real bugs get refused by rising fish. You have to really get a good drift to fool one of these Little Truckee fish right now, but it is very rewarding when you do.
