Fishing Report

Sunday May 24th, 2026

Warmer temps have raised water levels here in the Gunnison valley. Although the water has come up, the clarity is exceptional and the turbidity is low. This means the fishing is hot! We finally have a little more water in the system and the fish are happy. Memorial weekend is here and we should continue to have nice weather for the holiday weekend.

Gunnison River

The Gunnison River has been fishing great lately from Almont all the way to the Wilson’s takeout. We are starting to see some bugs moving around over the last couple of days and the fish are taking full adavantage of it. Caddis, small stones and PMD’s are starting to hatch here and there. If you time it right, the afternoon caddis hatch has been absolutely unbelievable and the fish are finally looking up in a consistent manner.

Deep runs and drop offs with a standard nymph rig have been the most consistent lately. hopper dropper along the deeper banks will produce later in the day. Look for fish rising in the afternoons along the banks and in fast riffles.

San Juan worm, Prince nymph (10-14), Pats rubber legs (10-14), Yellow Sally nymphs (14-18), Pheasant Tail (14-20), Elk Hair Caddis (16-18)
