Our Deluxe Format also provides a more intimate experience with smaller client group sizes, additional amenities and services, and a Dedicated Gear Boat allows for lighter rafts and in turn you to spend more time exploring the pools and runs of the Gunnison River Gorge. Our gear boat goes ahead to set-up camp and prepare for our arrival!  Both you and your guide can now focus on fishing as there is no rush to set up camp, why not chase big fish all day?

Join us for the ideal way to see the Black Canyon of the Gunnison Gorge- from the inside!  a true wilderness experience, this 14 mile river section combines wildlife and scenery with class II-III+ whitewater through one of the most spectacular river canyons in North America.  We drive from the RIGS fly shop in Ridgway to the trailhead at the canyon rim.  From there, we hike the 1.1 mile trail down to the river.  After gearing up and reviewing trip considerations, we start floating and fishing the pools and runs of the Gunnison Gorge.

The "Gold Medal Waters" of the Gunnison Gorge are famous for it's world class Rainbow and Brown trout fishing.  This fishery commands serious respect as the CDOW conducts population census on a annual basis.  There are 8,700 catchable fish per mile and over 200 fish per mile over 18", add 425 lbs per sample acre and you have something special.  World renowned for the "Stone Fly Hatch", the "Gunny" also plays host to many other fine insect hatches making for a true bug factory.  While the Gunnison River sees moderate use, the Gorge, because of it's remote location and challenging access receives the least angling pressure of all the floatable sections.

This unique desert environment also plays host to a diverse array of wildlife including Bighorn Sheep, Mule Deer, Elk and although seldom seen many predators inhabit the canyon as well as a wide variety of birds of prey including Golden Eagles and Osprey.  If you can take your eye off the fly for a moment, you'll witness breath taking geology as some of the oldest rock in North America is exposed making for stunning scenery.  Don't forget your camera as you join us for a unforgettable experience.
