Fall Fishing
Dave and I had a pretty good day on the Gunnison River yesterday. We didn’t catch a lot of fish, but we landed some nice rainbows. I love fishing here in the fall, especially during the month of October.

East River Salmon
The salmon are pretty stacked up in the deep holes in the East River at the ERA Club. Julie and David had a great morning today catching lots of kokanee and also a few trout.
The Jersey Boys
Had a fun couple of days with John and Tom on the East River and also the Taylor River this week. They grew up together in NJ and make the trip here each year to fish. John got this nice brown trout on the Taylor River fishing a dry-dropper rig.…
