Pit River Fishing Report

Fishing conditions:  Poor

Report: The river below Lake Britton is still high and probably off color. We'd suggest you fish elsewhere while we wait for the flows to subside. Hat Creek could be a very good option for the time being.

This is a great river to fish a Euro rod and we highly recommend it. Be careful though, this can be a slippery river to wade. We recommend a wading staff when fishing the Pit.

Be aware that the flows on the Pit can and will change without notice, so definitely check before you go! And be prepared to get out when the river begins to rise.

Here are some useful links to monitor the flows:
Pit 3 - Below Pit 3 Dam
Pit 5 - Through Big Bend
