The LT is fishing great right now. Flows are at 150 CFS, making for great conditions for nymphing, but also keeping the dry fly bite good. The mainstays of baetis and midges are still putting the majority of fish in the net, but we are also seeing winter stones, mother’s day caddis, skwalas and some green drakes that are a bit early to the party. We are probably a few short weeks away from the PMD’s starting up, and when they do, they will be quick to replace the BWO’s once they start up as the main course for these picky trout. Worms, eggs and maybe the occasional skwala nymph will round out your selection out here. We encourage 6x tippet when nymphing out here, a small piece of splitshot and a white or clear indicator. These seemingly small adjustments can make a huge difference. As this is a tailwater, the temps do not fluctuate like they do on the main Truckee, so fishing early mornings or late evenings will still remain good, at least for the nymph fisherman.
