(ED: This notice came from PG&E)
———-
Pit 3, 4, 5 Project stakeholders,
I am pleased to inform you that PG&E has established real-time flow information reporting for the Pit 3 reach, on the Pit River. The flow information is available on the California Data Exchange Center (CDEC) web site at http://cdec.water.ca.gov The station identification for the Pit 3 reach is P35.
With the establishment of the Pit 3 reach flow information on CDEC, real-time flow information on all three river reaches of the Pit 3, 4, 5 Project are now available. The station identification summary included below will direct you to the hourly real-time data for the Pit 3, Pit 4, and Pit 5 river reaches:
Pit 3 Reach; Station Identification – P35
Pit 4 Reach; Station Identification – PR4
Pit 5 Reach; Station Identification – PRB
Thank you for your participation and continued support during implementation of the Pit 3, 4, and 5 Project license. If you have any questions regarding this notification or implementation of the license, please contact me directly.

i know that I’l never be able to totally adapt to the new flows. I’m 67 and the changes couldn’t come at a worse time. It’s not just the flows, it’s the fact that the brush and trees hug the river and it will be years before a natural connection is re-established.
One of my greatest concerns relates to the increased “recreational” use of the river. This translates into rafters and campers who will have a heavy impact on the area and the fishing. I’ve been fishing the river for about 40 years and during that time, I would guess that at least 90% of the fisherman were fly fisherman and most are catch/release fisherman. There’s no question that you can catch a lot of fish on the river with a lure or live bait. Also, many fisherman are going to keep their fish for dinner. Since the river is all native fish, as it should be, I would expect that the population could decrease very quickly. Bottom line – I would suggest that the Catchand Release regulations be extended to Pit 3 thru Pit 5 reaches. It would certainly help to preserve the fishery and would not interfer with true sport fishermen.
