Gunnison River
Multi-Day
Float Fishing
The Gunnison Gorge, below the Black Canyon National Park in western Colorado, is a 14 mile wilderness journey combining spectacular scenery with one of Coloradoās finest Gold Medal fisheries. This trip should be on every anglers bucket list! After a 7 mile rough 4x4 trail and then a mile hike down the Chuckar Trail brings us to the river and the narrow canyon carved through the polished Proterozoic schist and gneiss formations. Mild rapids punctuate the crystal clear pools on the first day as we enter this secluded retreat. The Gunnison Gorge is arguably the most beautiful 3-day float fishing trip in the West. This Gunnison River fly fishing float trip is world famous for its prolific German Brown and Rainbow trout population with more fish per mile than any other Colorado river. The latest counts show 7,000 fish per mile! Float fishing is the only way to access several prime holding areas in the canyon. You will also experience many great wading opportunities along the way. Gunnison Gorge fishing is one of the best fly fishing float trips in Colorado!!

Our Gunnison Gorge fly fishing trips are 3 days to allow plenty of time to walk-wade early in the morning and into the evening from camp after a day of fishing from our rafts at a leisurely pace. We stop to allow anglers to fish secluded water as we slowly make our way to a different camp each night. We select isolated camps for each night we are on the river where our guides prepare wholesome meals from fresh ingredients including our own Dutch oven recipe delights. Our evenings are filled with conversations of the dayās events, quiet relaxation time or more fishing with the evening hatch. The Gunnison Gorge is punctuated with Class III rapids which add to the excitement of the trip.
