Fishing below Britton on Pit 3 continues to be very good. Large, dark flies like a black Rubberlegs paired with any one of the good Euronymph jig flies or a Perdigon will fish nicely. Wading can still be difficult due to the low visibility, so keep you wits about you and bring a wading staff. Summertime on the Pit can be outstanding!
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
