Big flows continue throughout the system, we can't recommend fishing on the Pit for now. While we are waiting for the flows to subside and the river to drop in we recommend you find a safer place to fish like Hat Creek or Baum Lake.

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
