Water Conditions: The Pit is now open year round from Pit 3 down to the lake! No one's been fishing it, but we're trying to send some scouts out next week to get some reports.

Fishing Conditions & Hatches: High stick nymphing can be very productive here. Focus your efforts in the faster pocket water and the heads of pools. Skip over the slow water (sucker/squawfish water).

Flies: GB Black A.P #12-18 * GB Prince nymph #14-16* Golden stone nymph #10-14 * Zebra Midges #16-20 * Hare's Ear #14-18 * Dark Lord #14-16 * Elk Hair Caddis #12-16 * Stimulators #8-12 * Black Rubberlegs #6-8 * Shafer's 3D Nymphs #10 * Poxyback Micro Stone, Dark #12 * Fox's Poopah * Beeottis * Glasstail Caddis Pupa Olive #14.

The Fly Shop's Tips: Be ready for tough wading conditions when fishing this river. Flat ground DOES NOT exist here! A wading staff is highly recommended.... almost mandatory. Many bones (wrist, arm, ankle, leg) and fly rods (Sage, Loomis, Scott, etc..) have been broken here. Move slow, and keep solid footing while in the water. (But just in cast...pack some dry clothes, snake kit and don't forget to dry out your fly-box at the end of the day!)
