This summer, CalTrout staff did a reconnaissance run on the Pit River with inflatable kayaks. We found this to be a productive
way to access some otherwise hard-to-get-to water of Pit 3.
It is certainly not for everybody – we encountered some challenging rapids and sections of the river that were channelized and completely overgrown. It is a trip for only those experienced
in whitewater boating.
The fishing was great, yielding chunky rainbows and plenty of adventure. As we all know, the Pit is an extremely tough river to wade and increased flows over the last couple of years have made it even tougher. But, by foot or by boat, the Pit River delivers some of the highest catch rates of wild trout in the state. It is worth a trip to test your mettle.
