With the spring heat, comes the high flows on the rivers! As of right now the flows are raging on the Truckee and Little Truckee Rivers.
Truckee Area
Near Tahoe City - 73 cfs
Downtown Truckee - 805 cfs
Canyon towards Reno - 3109 cfs
Little Truckee - 755 cfs
High flows are also acting as a cleaning agent to flush the river bottoms from debris and that annoying "salad" we always pull off our flies. Faster moving water will force fish to seek slower moving water where they will be able to hold without expending too much energy to feed.
So on a beautiful day with the rivers raging and nothing to do.. so we went SAILING!!
The Sunshine Pirate Crew launched from Lake Forest boat ramp about 11 AM on Friday. With a rigged up 22 ft Catalina sailboat and no specific direction in mind, we tacked towards Sugar Pine Point on the Westshore of Lake Tahoe. For the greater part of the day we had consistent wind, but also had several dead spots which gave us ample time to bask in the sun and reflect on how lucky we are to live in such a beautiful place...
