Current Conditions at Gunnison:
The Gunny has given up some good fishing through the first wave of winter, but as flows and temps drop fishing has slowed down. Nymph rigs set at the appropriate depth should move the most fish although there has been some good streamer action. Heavy bead heads are good place to start. 20-inchers, princes and small girdles followed by a more selective offering like an RS2, juju, or a disco midge has turned some nice fish. Target the warmest part of the day, focusing on deep holding runs. Please do not fish to trout showing spawning behavior or sitting on redds.
This is one of the best times of year to be on the water! It is getting closer to winter and the fish are turning on to the midges again. Try fishing a Money Midge (size 18-22) for best results. The days are getting shorter and the weather is drastically cooling down. Winter is around the corner and soon you can have the Frying Pan and the Taylor all to yourself! The fishing is good. Clear skies and 44-47 degree weather. The water temperature was between 36-39 degrees and Crystal Clear.
