Water Conditions: ??The Pit is now open year round from Pit 3 down to the lake! We've had scattered reports from Pit 3, 4, and 5. Flows are up a little, but the color is green and fishable, and most anglers wetting a line in the Pit have succeeded in catching a few nice fish.

Fishing Conditions & Hatches: ??High stick nymphing can be very productive here. There hasn't been much in the way of hatches yet, but nymphing with Copper Johns, Prince Nymphs, P.T.s, and stonefly nymphs has been producing a few fish.

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!)
