Fishing conditions:  Good

Report: The river has dropped in and is fishing well from Pit 3 down through 5. Keep your eyes peeled for hatches, this time of year you can see stoneflies, PMDs and Callibaetis along with some big caddis. Good flies are always Perdigons, Hotspots, Rubberlegs, and don't discount a well-fished crayfish pattern. Some people fish Woolly Buggers, TJ Hookers can be very effective. Come on up and fish, the river is in!

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
