The Catch Fishing Report

More New Snow in Crested Butte today!
Return to FishCrestedButte.com







Greetings Angler,

The upper Gunnison Valley woke up to a huge early spring storm and the snow pack got significantly deeper today.  Crested Butte Mountain Resort reported 12 inches of fresh powder, kicking off the spring snow cycle in style.

Gunnison Valley rivers and streams are icy in spots, but take advantage of vast open wateron the Gunnison River, just south of Almont.  Water levels are good for wading with hungry fish.

Check out this inside look from Dom at Troutfitter Sports on the early season action:

"Caught some very nice fish below Almont .... one really beautiful rainbow. 
Most took the Prince in #12, but a few ate a red midge."

Get out there and enjoy the uncrowded waters of early season.  Thanks for your visit today.   

Thanks to Dom at Troutfitter Sports for this report.

Fish-on!

Greetings Angler,

With Crested Butte Mountain Resort receiving 11 inches of snow in the past three days, the afternoon sunshine is adding fresh water to the lower basin.  Many sections of water have ice present, but the fishing is active in areas of open flow.  Check out this current look at fishing conditions from Troutfitter Sports:

EAST RIVER   n/a CFS @ Almont
Frozen. Try CB South Bridge or near Roaring Judy.

Greetings angler,

February has arrived in the Gunnison Valley and along with it comes longer days and seasonal temperatures.  Fishing is fun and rewarding this time of year as afternoons are typically mild and sunny, with fish in their winter holding areas.  Check out this current fishing report for the Gunnison River from Almont Anglers:

Gunnison River (Almont to Blue Mesa)

Conditions: The warm stretch the last few days is making for some good fishing where you can find open water. The lower 1/3 of the gaurd rail hole is open and growing daily, the river chanel in currecantti is starting to see the ice break and could start to open soon if the warming trend continues. Low flows and cold temps have the fish pooled up in the deeper runs. Best time is in the heat of the day from 12-3. Air temp at the hatchery was around 40 yesterday (01/26/07).

Hatches: midges

Flies: Brassie, zebra midge, miricle nymph, pt's and stones

Thanks for checking in today and thanks to Almont Anglers for today's report.

Fish-on!
