Rating - Poor

All reaches of the Pit below Lake Britton are high, Pit 3 is at 900 CFS and it just gets bigger from there. We'd suggest you fish elsewhere while we wait for the flows to subside. Hat Creek could be a very good option for the time being.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.
