Q: What type of fishing can we expect?      

A: We drift the river in a raft with a rowing    frame. We fish from the raft and we get out and wade where appropriate         

Q: What is the river like?                                 

A: It is not a float. We have smooth water in    places but we also have Class II rapids in    several places It is truly an adventure but it is safe.

"Spectacular hookups... phenomenal fish...splendid scenery...fly fishing at its best! Truly one of the best overall fishing experiences I have encountered. Bill is a master at finding the pools, runs, riffles and seams where the Pit River fish lay. Not only does he know where the real brutes call home, he will teach you different methods to pull them out of their hiding places. If you haven't fished this section of the Pit River it is a bucket list entry". - --TONY

"I have fished this stretch of the Pit River with Bill guiding several times. It truly is a beautiful place and tremendous fishery. Most of all, Bill knows what he is doing as your guide". --- Alan

" Fishing this section of the Pit with Bill is special. It's secluded and we've always had the river to ourselves. The fish are incredible--powerful, often acrobatic, and always memorable. And Bill seems to know exactly where to find them. It's a great trip and a great experience". --- Rick
