I decided to hold off friday when I called the local fly shop and was told water was spilling over the dam. But I got the chance to try it today and headed out with a friend who also had never seen the pit. first off, that river screams trout, and the wading conditions did not dissapoint, I did manage to keep my feet the whole time, but I did ski down a few boulders. anyway, the water was very off color, brown with maybe 6-12in of vis depending on who you are and if you were near a clear trib. fished through a gorgeous section of pocket water with no success and then headed up to the top of a large pool, that has a family of otters playing in the lower end, very cool. the plan was actually to give up on trout, I have never seen a squawfish and I figured drifting a large stone next to seams in top of the pool may attract one, the plan backfired nicely with a nice brown, somthing I did not expect. then I headed right to the top and managed to land one bow on a #16PT and lost three other fish, my friend managed to quick release two others as well. the trip lasted three hours and then we headed over with no success to the very windy baum lake.
I must say, I love the pit that river rocks, if the fishing is ok in chocolate milk than when it clears it must be incredible. and I dont feel too bad about fishing it alone, I just moved alot slower than I usually do
