Gotta always check flows before heading out anywhere. I think you can go back and see the flow for the day you fished, then establish that as a base line for when the river is fishable. Should be able to do that on dreamflows.
When I drive that far I usually do a loop. Fish the Pit, drive to the upper Sac, go over to the McCloud, and sometimes drive to the upper Klamath. It's a good idea to check water flows especially in high rain years.
