River Map
About Pit River
The Pit River below Lake Britton is a classic Northern California tailwater — fast, rocky, and loaded with large wild brown and rainbow trout. PG&E powerhouses control flows between the reservoirs, creating consistent temperatures year-round. Wading is technical; the basalt canyon requires careful footing.
Regulations
General season regulations apply. California Sport Fishing License required. Check current CDFW regulations for bag and size limits.
