The Gunnison Gorge will do something to you.

Three days in, no cell service, canyon walls a thousand feet high, and somehow you forget the rest of the world exists. It’s not just a fishing trip. It’s one of those experiences you end up talking about for years.

It’s hot. The water is low. And that fish you just landed needs a little extra help getting back.
We head out early for a reason — and part of that is about caring what we’re fishing for.

Here’s what most people don’t realize: trout thrive in water temps between 45–60°, with the sweet spot right around 55–60°. Once temps hit 65°, they’re already stressed. At 68°, it can be fatal, even with a perfect release. Low water only makes it worse, stripping oxygen and leaving fish with nothing to recover on.
So the release matters more than ever. Wet your hands before you touch them! Hold them in the current, facing upstream. Let them tell you when they’re ready. Don’t let go until that tail kicks and they mean it.

A few things we’re doing right now to keep fish healthy this time of year:
→ Off the water before the heat of the day peaks
→ On the water early when temps and flows are in our favor
→ Heavier tippet so fights stay short
→ Wet your hands — always — before handling
→ Keep fish wet! SKIP the photo if conditions are tough
→ Extended revival time, always

These fish are worth more than one catch. Protect your fishery. This is what good stewardship looks like — pass it on!!

The Gunnison River is built different.

While most Colorado rivers rise and fall with snowpack, the Lower Gunnison and Gunnison Gorge are protected by the Aspinall Unit — three federal dams (Blue Mesa, Morrow Point, and Crystal) that regulate flows year-round. Since 1985, the Bureau of Reclamation has maintained a guaranteed minimum release specifically to protect what is one of Colorado’s premier Gold Medal trout fisheries. The fish don’t know what the snowpack report says. They just eat.

This stretch — from Crystal Dam through the Gorge to the North Fork confluence — is designated Gold Medal and Wild Trout Water. Big browns, wild rainbows, and some of the most stunning canyon water in the American West. Right outside our back door!

We’re heading into prime time on the Lower Gunni, Salmonfly season is right around the corner, caddis are starting to show, and the fish are hungry and active.

Ready to get on the water? Give us a call or stop in. Let’s get you booked. 🎣

Round two on the Gunnison!!

We had so much fun hosting last year’s premiere that we decided to do it again. Last fall, the crew came back to the Gunnison to film a brand new episode on our home water, and we’re rolling out the projector at The Temple Event Center on May 23 to share it together.

Settle in, grab a seat, and enjoy the show with friends, neighbors, and the folks who fish these waters. Stick around afterward for swag tosses.
