Report: The river is in good shape and the temps are good in Pit 3 & 4. If you venture down into Pit 5, take a thermometer to be on the safe side until things really begin to cool off. Fishing has been good as well with nymphs & Euronymph set ups. The fish will clump up in the drainages with cold seeps/creek mouths. Good flies are always Perdigons, Hotspots, Rubberlegs, and don't discount a well-fished crayfish pattern. Some people fish Woolly Buggers, TJ Hookers can be very effective. The fall will be a good one on the Pit!

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
