The river is has come down on Pit 3 and 4, but the water clarity is still an issue. It is still pretty dirty. Keep checking in to see if we have any updates, shouldn't be too much longer before the fishing is a go! 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
