Current River Conditions: Fair to good sums up the fishing on the Pit river. Conditions are getting better and better. This sunny warm weather will have the March Browns coming off! Bring the wading staff! We highly recommend wearing a PFD (Personal Floatation Device) too. The Pit is a delightful choice at this time of year. Solitude is found here.

The Fly Shop's ? Tips: What a productive river the Pit is. If you ever get tired of not catching rainbows, try the Pit. But, 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! To get the hook ups, knowing where and when is everything. 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.
