The flows will be bumped up on the Pit 5 stretch next week on the 7th & 8th for the whitewater rafters & kayakers, so expect to see 1,500 CFS. You should go above on Pit 3 & 4, they are fishing great. As temperatures begin to fall over the next month you can safely fish the lower sections without fear of killing a fish due to high water temps The methods and flies that will work are large, dark flies like a black Rubberlegs paired with any one of the good Euronymph jig flies or a Perdigon. A Caddis hatch towards the evening can have fish chasing Softhackles and swung Poopahs. We're looking forward to this fall and the October Caddis!

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:
