The Little Truckee has become almost inaccessible with current snow and will be accessible only by snowmobile or a long snowshoe trek.  Flows are at 35cfs and anglers are taking the occasional fish by using tiny midge and baetis imitations.  Being that flows are low and crystal clear a stealthy approach is critical.  Perfect dead drifts, that sometimes have to be repeated several times, and light tippets from 6x to 8x are key to success here.  This section of Wild Trout water is being poached on a regular basis.  It’s up to you to protect it by calling 1-888-334-2258(DFG Caltip).
