Fishing Report
April 1st, 2025
This is not the week to be in the Gunnison Valley to fly fish. Grab your skis instead. Snow paired with high winds are in the forecast all week here in Gunnison. Not to say you can’t go fish, but you might be better off hitting the mountain. This is much needed precipitation so I won’t complain too much.
Gunnison River
The “Gunny” is starting to open up and Spring fishing is in full effect. Ice shelves are still very present but are receding day by day. Focus on Winter staging holes and fish the warmest part of the day. Nymphing will be the most successful technique with occasional midge hatches along the banks and frog water.
Zebra midge (18-22) pretty much any midge pattern, RS2 (18-22), Egg patterns, worm patterns.
