Flows on the Little Truckee are 86 cfs as of June 23, 2009.  The water is clear with temperatures in the high fifties.

We fished the upper section below Stampede on the 20th of June.  The were a few bugs hatching mostly midges, PMD’s and a few BWO’s (when the cloud cover came in).  We both took a couple of nice fish in the 18 to 20 inch bracket fishing dry flies along side the faster water in the runs and heads of pools.  The most successful pattern was a #16 Adam’s Parachute with a B/H F/B #18 pheasant tail nymph.

I was disappointed in the fish!  There was very little fight–most of them just gave it up and let themselves be released.
