About Little Truckee River

The Little Truckee River below Stampede Reservoir is a small, productive tailwater with wild rainbow and brown trout. The consistent flows and cold water from Stampede make this a reliable summer and fall fishery when nearby rivers run too warm. A local favorite for solitude-seekers.
