The Little Truckee has become inaccessible with current snow and will be accessible only by snowmobile.  Flows are at 114cfs and anglers should start to see fishing pick up here.  Now that flows have been bumped up and water slightly off color throwing a san juan worm or a glo bug might produce now. Perfect dead drifts, that sometimes have to be repeated several times are still necessary, and light tippets when trying to coax any rising fish.  Baetis and midge hatches are the still the norm here.
