Southern Boys Weekend in the Gunnison River Valley!

Gunnison Valley Fall Weekend

It's that time of year again to head to one of my favorite areas in the state. Our trip has been in the planning for a few months and I couldn't wait to entertain my Georgia and North Carolina buddies.

This area can be absolutely gorgeous one minute and one of the coldest in the state the next. The trout treated us well and the Salmon made us feel like we were in Alaska with all of the Sockeye's we caught.

 

We alternated between fishing near the Almont area, the Taylor River C&R section and

the Black Canyon of the Gunnison region for some Fall fishing. Beautiful weather and a few hatches made this well worth it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Gunnison is one of the top areas for big rainbow and brown trout, and the isolated, narrow Black Canyon is one of those places that inspires or keeps you coming back year after year. The best way to thoroughly explore the area and get a real feel for this awesome river is to take a float trip through it and spend several days working on flies and getting tips from experienced guides, such as those with Black Canyon Anglers, a longtime outfitter on the "Gunny."

Middle Park Colorado Fall Fishing

Fall Fishing is Oh So Close

With football and work keeping me busy these days, it was time to get out for a day on the water. Weather started out at 40' and warmed to 70', the perfect weather day to be out on the water. PMD'S, BWO'S, Caddis & Blue Quill, they all showed up today to put on a show skating the water.

Boca Dawg also enjoyed herself looking for rising fish and a few dips in the water. Whether it's Delaney Buttes, the Frying Pan or around town, Boca always seems to enjoy herself.

There's no better place than the Gore Range to spend a quality day on the River. Need fish pics? Not going to find it here, today was all about enjoying the day whether I caught 6" rainbows or nothing at all, counting rising fish was much more enjoying than how many numbers filled my net.

Fall Fishing In The Rockies..Looking For Big Trout!

Fall Means One Thing...Great Fishing!

Fall is by and large my favorite time of the year to fish. When there's gorgeous 70' days, fall colors, big fish getting anxious and a hallpass to get away, I'm all about chasing some trout! Where do I like to go and meet up with friends? Small water or big water it doesn't matter to me. This time I met up with a few friends due west of Denver and the bite was on all weekend long.



Sight fishing big rainbows was the name of the game. Fall means big browns but in this case, big rainbows needed some loving as well so I was happy to oblige. I saw this young lady looming in the distance and after about an hour she was mine, ahh the joy of sight fishing with a size #22 hares ear!



The Midnight bite can never go wrong, I just need to watch my backcast and be careful of my tandem streamers whizzing by my head at 50mph! What better way to enjoy a great time out than to grab my headlamp, 6wt G loomis, big net and a few favorite patterns to chase some big boys.



Travis and Mark with some tandem action! Double hook ups never means a bad start to the day and 2 minutes later Troutdawg was hooked up as well! The weather treated us nicely and despite a few people with the same intentions, it all worked out just fine. Nice PMD hatches, midges and more midges, light tippets, plenty of sunscreen and good poloraized glasses were all that mattered this weekend.
