I spent the day up in the mountains yesterday, driving dirt roads that climb up to the snow-capped peaks where my favorite small creeks begin their long journey to the valleys below. The creek I fished is about 6 to 8 feet wide in most spots, with plenty of twists…
The best way to deal with run-off is to get high. No, I don’t mean doing drugs, legal or not. I’m talking about getting up in the high country to find clear running streams full of wild trout. This is a great time of year to get out there and…
We are in major run-off now in the Gunnison Valley, and fishing will be limited to tailwaters and small creeks for several more weeks. Some creeks in the high country are running clear and can be fished. And you might also see some moose!
We got some nice rainbows on the Gunnison River yesterday. We had some dry fly action, but it was mostly nymphing to get decent fish like this one here.
The snow has melted and spring has returned. We had a good day on the Gunnison River yesterday. Jay caught several nice rainbows like this one below.
We got hit with a big snow storm recently, and we ended up with about a foot of snow here in Gunnison. The mountains have received between 2 and 3 feet of snow from this storm. I think most of us have had it with winter. It will be interesting…
Hit a nice BWO hatch on the Gunnison River yesterday. The weather was miserable, with snow, rain, sleet, and wind. But in between the squalls, the bugs hatched and the fish were after them.
A nice chunky rainbow caught on the Taylor River today.
Dave with another nice Gunnison River rainbow trout. It was a bit slow fishing at times yesterday, but we got some good fish. (And the trout seemed to like my new Riffle and Rise Outfitters hat.)
Dave caught some really nice rainbows yesterday. This was just one of many. It’s also good to see the small rainbows in the river. They are pretty little fish with their par marks, and they will hopefully be around for several years to come.
