Up to 25 miles of prime trout habitat with browns, rainbows, cuttbows, cutthroats, kokanee salmon, a few brookies, and some lost lake trout from the Blue Mesa Reservoir.  The East and Taylor Rivers meet to form the Gunnison at 8000 above sea level.  The river mainly cuts through the big ranches and meadows before an impressive cliff section and ultimately flowing through the big valley west of the town of Gunnison and into the largest body of water in Colorado, the Blue Mesa.  Late March, April, and early May are proven to be good early season months.  Streamers and nymphing are productive techniques, with some bwo and midge dry fly action as well.  After run-off in June we experience some of the best with caddis, golden stones, bwo, pmd, and green drakes.  July is the most consistent month with regular hatches, good water, and beautiful summer weather.  August means the arrival of kokanee salmon.  September, October, and early November are some of my favorite months with awesome fishing.  Turning leaves and light pressure make for a spectacular time to be in the Rockies!  Late March – November,  Half or full day trips with nice lunch served on full day trips
