This report will concentrate on the Truckee and Little Truckee Rivers. It is beginning to be a little like groundhog day around here. Conditions around here are pretty much the same since the last two reports and I mean that in a good way. The waters temps are cool and flows are good which is something we haven't had around here for a few seasons. With that said I feel we are setup very well for some great fall fishing. Last weekends' rain settled the dust and gave everything a little boost. The fishing has been excellent. It is not to late to get a trip in with me. I have open dates coming up here in September and October. Before we know it Ski Season with be here and I will be skiing.
Truckee River Conditions
Truckee River Flows are 82cfs in town and 498cfs below Boca. Water temps are good and the clarity is super as well.
Truckee River Tactics
Truckee River Tactics are similar to my last report. The bugs have gotten smaller. The river is basically two different rivers above and below Boca. Above Boca dry/dropper techniques will be your Best Choice. Below Boca all techniques are in play. There are many different water types and options to fish different techniques down there.

Little Truckee River Tactics
The Little Truckee River Tactics have not changed much since the last report except for maybe less people. I have received good reports from the LT. Lengthen the leader, drop tippet size, use smaller bugs, and wear drab color clothing. There are decent mid-day hatches here. The fish are finicky but catchable. Gotta put the time in.

Little Truckee River Summary
The Little Truckee conditions are as good as they have been for a few years. The fish are tough on the ego. But really nice when you do catch one.
