Large flows continue to be the story on the Pit. It is also pretty turbid. With all of the snow in the area, we would recommend finding somewhere else to fish for the time being. Keep an eye on the gages and when it drops back in those fish will be ready to eat your fly.
As always, 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:
