BLOWN OUT!! WELL, AT AT LEAST THE GUNNISON IS RIGHT NOW. THE SHERIFF HAS ALSO POSTED A CLOSURE/WARNING FOR THE STRETCH BETWEEN ALMONT RESORT AND GARLIC MIKE’S RESTAURANT LOCATED AT NORTH BRIDGE. ANYTHING OVER 2000CFS AND YOU RISK LOSING YOUR HEAD ON A COUPLE OF BRIDGES. THERE ARE ALSO REPORTS OF LARGE TREES FLOATING DOWN THE GUNNY, THAT’S NO BUENO!

SO, NOW WHAT? THE GUNNISON RIVER VALLEY HAS SEVERAL OPTIONS TO KEEP A LINE WET DURING RUN-OFF. THE TAYLOR IS UP DUE TO INCREASED FLOWS SO THE RESERVOIR DOESN’T OVERFLOW, HOWEVER, IT IS STILL FISHING VERY WELL! EVERYTHING FROM EGG PATTERNS TO MOP FLIES AND MIDGES ARE WORKING IN THE CATCH AND RELEASE SECTION, BUT DON’T GET STUCK ON THAT. THE ENTIRE RIVER IS GOLD MEDAL WATER AND THAT MEANS PLENTY OF TROUT AND SOME NICE SIZE ONE’S THROUGHOUT THE RIVER!

ANOTHER RIVER/CREEK OPTION, IS THE COCHETOPA CREEK BELOW DOME LAKES. BIGGER BUGS ARE ALSO WORKING THERE. DON’T FORGET TO THROW SOME SMALLER STREAMERS LIKE THIN MINTS. THERE ARE SOME BIG FISH IN THAT LITTLE CREEK AND THEY WILL DEVOUR THEM!

OTHER OPTIONS INCLUDE BLUE MESA RESERVOIR, WHICH CAN BE EXCELLENT FROM SHORE, OR HIRE ONE OF OUR GUIDES AND TAKE A BOAT RIDE. THE ICE ON TAYLOR RESERVOIR IS ALSO MOVING OUT AND PIKE FISHING WILL BLOW UP REAL SOON! WE HAVE SOME PIKE FLIES SO STOP IN FOR THE LATEST UPDATES AND A FEW FLIES.

BOOK YOUR SUMMER FLOATS NOW! IT’S AS EASY AS A CLICK OF A BUTTON ON OUR WEB SITE. TRIPS ARE BOOKING UP FAST SO GET YOUR SPOT(S) SECURED NOW!

UNTIL THEN AMIGOS TIGHT LINES, WADE SAFE AND LEAVE NO TRACE!
