I’ve spent over a year and a half of my life fishing in the bottom of the black canyon .im 63 now and just put in at east portal . But I’ve been down all the trails many times .

I truly enjoy that area, for sure a magical place. I’ve barely scratched the surface of accessible spots.

Do you have any advice for a fly fisherman trying new spots? Any website suggestions?

[@benwyman2870]

I want to try the gunnison as well this summer but its hard to find good information about sections of it due to the runoff etc

[@TheGhillieGuyYY4U]

Unfortunately I do not have any websites in mind to help with that. If I were you I’d google the area you are thinking of trying. There also maybe KZbin vids on that area as well. Without knowing where you are and where you are thinking of trying it’s difficult to offer advice besides what I mentioned.

@@TheGhillieGuyYY4U I think I’m Going to go to the gunnison next week! Maybe fish the Lake outlet near highway 149 have you tried that? Any idea about areas of the gunnison not affected by runoff this time of year?

[@TheGhillieGuyYY4U]

@@benwyman2870 I need to explore that area more in-depth. They are releasing a lot of water right now for the next couple of weeks so the Black Canyon and Pleasure Park will be blowing out. I’m really going to try and get out that way for the stone fly hatch though. Regarding new spots again, what I do is is search for info pertaining to that area online etc. I did head up to Buena Vista and Salida this past weekend and fished the Arkansas River. The river was a little high but not blown out yet. Fishing was pretty decent. I’m editing the footage now and will have a 3 part series for the 3 days I fished there… Tight lines bro! 🤜🤛
