Right now the flows from Britton are relatively stable in the upper section of Pit 3. We are not sure what the clarity is, but if you are in the area, say on Hat Creek, it wouldn't be a bad idea to check it out. This spring we expect to see good Salmonfly and Golden Stone hatches, and down through Pit 4 PMDs and Callibaetis. 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:
Pit 3 - Below Pit 3 Dam
Pit 5 - Through Big Bend
