Fishing Report
April 22, 2025
Fishing is hot right now!
Recent snow storms and cold weather has decreased flows in the valley. Most of the rivers have great clarity and are very manageable as of right now. Looking at the extended forecast, we can expect for the flows to stay pretty consistent. They may increase a small amount throughout the next week, but there should be no major changes.
The fish are enjoying the clear water and low turbidity and are feeding hard. Get in on the action before it’s too late.
Gunnison River
The “Gunny” is open and Spring fishing is in full effect. Clarity is “Gunny green.” My favorite! Focus on Winter staging holes and fish the warmest part of the day. Nymphing will be the most successful technique right now. Focus on slower water and shelves, especially with off color water. Fish attractor nymphs! Worms, Stones, prince nymphs.
Stonefly nymphs, Egg patterns, worm patterns.
