The Catch Fishing Report 07/21/06
Greetings Angler,
Here is the updated fishing report for the Gunnison Valley provided by Almont Anglers, our Featured Travel Partner:
East River - Early morning and late-evening fishing on the East has been good this week. Midday has seen very high temperatures in the Gunnison Valley. Flows dropped below 300 cfs this week. Yellow Sallies, PMDs and caddis, sizes 14-18, and orange and yellow Stimulators, sizes 10-18, are working. For nymph fishing, try bead-head Pheasant Tails, Princes, olive Hare's Ears, Caddis Pupae, 20 Inchers and double-beaded stoneflies, size 10-18.
Gunnison River (Upper from Almont to Blue Mesa) - Flows on the Gunnison River have dropped from 1,400 cfs to 860 cfs in the past week. Sunny and hot weather has made for challenging fishing during the middle of the day. The best results have been in the mornings and evenings. Dark caddis, Adams, PMD, Royal Coachman, Yellow Sally and Stimulator patterns all have been fishing well. Hopper/dropper rigs have been working, as well.
Taylor River - The Taylor is still fishing well with green dakes, PMDs, caddis and yellow Sallies in the middle and upper sections. The flows are steady at 302 cfs out of the dam and 387 at Almont.
Thanks to Almont Anglers for the report. Thank you for checking in today.
Fish-on!
