Doug Beezley Photography | Fly Fishing | Gunnison River, Colorado

Fishing the Gunnison between the town of Gunnison and Blue Mesa Reservoir will give you the opportunity (at the right time of year) to catch rainbows, cutthroat, beautiful browns and even kokonee salmon making their spawning run up the river. It can be a big river with small side streams and deep pools. It can also be "too popular" and represent "combat" fishing at its worst. Nevertheless, it is a beautiful and productive river that presents great opportunity.
