The Catch Fishing Report

Greetings Angler,

Here is the current Gunnison Valley fishing report from Almont Anglers, our Featured Travel Partner:

East River - Fishing on the East this week has been very good, except during periods of heavy rain. Flows have been as low as 375 cfs and as high as 436 cfs this week at Almont. Streamer patterns have been working well in olive, black, brown and vanilla, sizes 4-8. Green drakes, size 10-12, and PMDs and BWOs, 14-18, are the predominant mayfly hatches. Yellow Sally stoneflies, 14-18, and larger orange stones, 10-14, are still working well.

Gunnison River (Upper from Almont to Blue Mesa) - Good rainfalls last week have brought Gunnison River flows back up to between 1,000 and 1,400 cfs. On rainy days, try black and olive streamers, size 4-8, or San Juan worms. Nymphing has been good with larger patterns - Pheasant Tails, Prince Nymphs, Zug Bugs, Copper Johns and stoneflies, all sizes 8-14. Midday hatches of PMDs, BWOs, caddis, stoneflies and a few drakes can be expected on most days.

Taylor River - Look for heavier hatches of green drakes midday in the middle to upper sections of the Taylor, as far as the Dorchester Campground. The creeks above Taylor Dam have seen little pressure and are fishing very well. Overcast days have been prolonging good hatches of PMDs, caddis, stoneflies, yellow Sallies and green drakes. Flows out of the dam are steady at 295 cfs, and between 400 and 460 cfs at Almont, depending on rainfall.

Thanks to Almont Anglers for the report.  Thank you for checking in today.

Fish-on!
Mark
