It is always a good idea to watch the flows before you go and when you are fishing. Having said that, the Pit is rocking and rolling right now. Big Bend flows are 6,000 cfs. Recent eyewitness reports on everything below pit 3 are not good. You may want to give this gem some time to simmer down and clear out before trying your luck.

Go prepared with snow chains/tires, shovel and emergency jackets and winter clothing. Bring a sleeping bag just in case you get stuck. The Pit is remote and few people venture to fish here in the winter. If your car/truck battery dies.. you may have to walk out or spend the night.. don't laugh. It happened.

Bring the wading staff! We highly recommend wearing a PFD (Personal Flotation Device) too. The Pit River is a demanding river to wade thanks to slippery, bowling-ball like boulders and rocks. Keeps the crowds down!
