Is a rugged and very scenic river, the longest tributary that flows into the Sacramento River. We primarily fish the Pit from PG&E powerhouse#1 down stream to PG&E powerhouse #5.

The Pit River “wild” rainbows are some of the hardest fighting trout you will ever fish for and they reach “trophy” size proportions. Nymph fishing is the most productive way to catch fish on the Pit but fishing a streamer in the deeper runs and pools will consistently catch the bigger fish in the river.

Dryfly fishing can be excellent on the Pit at time with salmon fly, golden stones and little yellow sally’s early in the season and caddis, mayfly and terrestrials during the summer. Fall fishing on the Pit is excellent, the days are cooler and good hatches of caddis and mayflies last longer during the day and the fish are hungry.

The changing fall colors, the scenic beauty of the steep canyons and the pristine evergreen forest make for a very memorable day of fishing. All fishing on the Pit River is walk-in and wade fishing.
