Pit River: , by Andrew Harris: 4 stars I had a fun day on the Pit River today with father/daughter duo Rich and Nina. FYI, the Pit River Road is still closed 24 hours/day a little ways above Rock Creek. We came in from the Big Bend side and started in Pit 5 and worked our way up to Pit 3. We did okay nymphing the deeper buckets, but the best action was with a hopper/dropper rig in the smaller, shallower pockets. Nina rose fish up to 16" on her hopper pattern. She had a lot of hopper grabs on pink and olive hoppers in the mid-afternoon. The best fish to hand was a fat 16" rainbow on the dropper nymph. Nice going guys! Rich and Nina both survived the Pit without falling in and they both caught fish! Hooked up Nina with a typical size rainbow for today Nina with a new fish pose Rich hooked up Next 10 open days for Andrew Harris: |
