Current River Conditions: You can't go wrong selecting the Pit River during the hot days of middle summer. We-wading this stream is a sought after alternative to a hot day on any other stream near by.
There is a an abundance of good water on the Pit from Lake Britton Dam all the way down to Big Bend and beyond! Plan on wet wading and casting nymphs about 10 feet out into the pockets, riffles, glides.
We expect the Pit to produce good fishing all summer long!
Bring the wading staff! We highly recommend wearing a PFD (Personal Floatation Device) too. The Pit River is a demanding river to wade thanks to slippery, bowling-ball like boulders and rocks. Keeps the crowds down!
UPDATE:
Expect 30 minute delays on HWY 299 3 miles west of Ingot to 3 miles east of Montgomery Creek.
The Pit is a delightful choice at this time of year. Solitude is found here.
The Fly Shop's ? Tips: Under a medium sized indicator, fish a #6-8 Pat's rubber Legs through the day. Suspend a #16 black Micro-Mayfly underneath. A dry-dropper rig comprised of a Salmon fly adult and a #16 red copper john can be a great choice for all day action. #14-18 Pheasant Tail Nymphs should be in every fly box. fishing near sunset is a great plan. Have your #6 Orange Stimulators ready.
Be ready for supremely tough wading conditions when fishing the Pit. Flat ground DOES NOT exist here! A wading staff really makes a difference for every angler who fishes here. Pack some dry clothes, snake kit and don't forget to dry out your fly-box at the end of the day! The Pit River rainbows will eat all day most of the time. These feisty fish can be found holding in fast bubbly water and in slower, smooth flowing water as well. High-stick and short line nymphing techniques are the key to finding the biggest rainbows on this river. Have plenty of BB, AAA and SSG split shot in your vest pocket. Feed lots of line and go for long drag free drifts, using an indicator and suspending flies 3 - 6 feet deep, in the long smooth glides between boulders and broken riffles. An there is no shortage of boulders, riffles, runs and pockets.
