Fishing Report
May 12, 2024
The Gunnison Valley received much need precipitation last week and over the weekend. This storm also brought freezing temps which kept runoff at bay. The flows should remain consistent throughout the week and that also goes for the fishing. I cant say the smae for the weather. After all, it is Colorado. Fishing as of late has been excellent and the fish are very eager to please. the fish are starting to spread out to more predictable areas and the float fishing has been on fire. Focus on color changes, deep runs, shelves and drop-offs.
“There’s no bad weather just bad clothing.” -Unknown, but I know my dad used to say it to me all of the time growing up.
Gunnison River
The Gunnison has been fishing well when the weather allows it. Fish are still sitting in winter holes for the most part but are starting to find feeding lanes in more predictable water. We are occasionally finding fish in riffles later in the day as the water warms up. Nymphing is still the most productive way to fish the Gunnison at this time.
