No recent reports from the Pit lately, but judging from the river levels and clarity it should be good to go. We will be getting some weather beginning on Sunday and this should bode well for some good hatches and fishing over the weekend. 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:
