General Information: Not many anglers test the Pit's waters in the fall, and it is now open from Lake Britton to Shasta Lake. The most recent reports from Pit 3, 4, and 5 have been good.

Fishing Conditions & Hatches: The reports that we have been receiving from the few anglers that have been fishing recently have been good. High stick nymphing with darker pattterns seems to be the most effective.

The Fly Shop's Tips: ??Be ready for tough wading conditions when fishing this river. Flat ground DOES NOT exist here! A wading staff is highly recommended.... almost mandatory. Many bones (wrist, arm, ankle, leg) and fly rods (Sage, Loomis, Scott, etc..) have been broken here. Move slow, and keep solid footing while in the water. (But just in cast...pack some dry clothes, snake kit and don't forget to dry out your fly-box at the end of the day!)
