THE BLACK CANYON OF THE GUNNISON...famous
for its large fish and dramatic scenery.
Since 1985, Black Canyon Anglers (formerly Telluride Outside) has
made available to you the premier waters in Southwestern Colorado.
Our three-day
fly fishing float on the Black Canyon of the Gunnison is recognized
as one of the best trips in the lower 48 and begins and ends at
Gunnison River Farms. The steep canyon walls, big horn sheep sightings,
white water action, and most importantly, sensational fly fishing,
make this trip an unparalleled experience.
On the first day of the trip, anglers load up on energy with breakfast
at the Farm and pack up to hike down Chukar trail, a one mile winding
descent to the Gunnison River. Launching just above Chukar rapid,
two anglers, one in the bow and one astern, share the raft with
a centrally seated guide.
Floating down the deep, warm canyon, casting to the banks, seams
and deep green runs, anglers are often torn between the awe-inspiring
canyon scenery and the abundant fish and wildlife. In between catching
big rainbows, browns and holding on for the occasional class II
- III rapid - anglers enjoy gourmet meals cooked by the guides each
day.
When guests wish to wade the Gunnison River, or simply want a shorter
float trip...options are plentiful both up and downstream. One-day
float trips and full and half day
walk-n-wade guided trips are available from the Farm. Jet boat
trips and duckies are also available. And Spring Creek fishing for
native cutthroat and brook trout is another option, just a short
drive away.
Additionally, anglers staying at the
Farm will find an abundance of ideal fishing locations right
outside their cabin door, including trout ponds, bass ponds and
five miles of Gunnison River frontage. The ponds are a perfect place
before and after trips to just wet a line or practice angling skills
with a seasoned guide.
| FACTOID |
The
Gunnison is the second largest river in the state of Colorado
