Pit River Fly Fishing Report By Clearwater Lodge’s John Fochetti
The Pit continues to fish well in the Pit 3,4, and 5 reaches, however Pit 1 is still too warm to fish and will continue to be that way for a few months.

Indicator nymphing the faster and more oxygenated water is the most productive, however there has been a good caddis hatch in the evenings.
