Hey Guys,
I was up in Almont CO about 2 weeks ago fly-fishing the Taylor and Gunnison Rivers. I have not been up to that area in a few years. But predictably, and by all accounts, it was very busy…
Overall, the fishing was pretty good. Particularly on the Gunnison where one morning I got into a bunch of hard fighting Rainbows all ranging from 16 to 20 inches. A red Zebra Midge size 18 was the hot fly. Pats rubber legs and a variety of small emerges worked well for Browns. Did not see any reservoir run Salmon but i wasn't looking for them either..
I will say this- The Gunnison is moving up quickly on my list of favorite Colorado Rivers.
The Taylor river also fished well. But it’s a more challenging river to fish in my opinion. I went swimming twice trying to navigate that dam stream bottom…
I also fished the Cimarron river (middle fork I believe) near Silver Jack Reservoir on my way back to AZ. Beautiful little stream which was loaded with small but very aggressive rainbows..
Heres a few pics from the trip....Ray
