Tomichi Creek

Tomichi creek flows from near the town of White Pine to its confluence with the Gunnison just west and south of the town of Gunnison. The creek is subject to sever de-watering due to the pastures that are flooded along its path.

Dredge the bottom with streamers and bigger bugs. Large black or darker colored stoneflies along with egg and worm patterns bounced on the bottom along the edges and in pocket water will produce fish. If you are floating, slap those big ugly streamers along the banks and pocket water as well, the fish are going to doing their best to stay out of the…
