We caught lots of browns (and about 10% rainbows) over three days -- I probably averaged about 10 fish a day during the last three annual trips we took.  This is a photo of a sample canyon -- although there are many types of rock formations, the river runs through a canyon for the first 2 and 1/2 days of the float. It opens up into meadows after that.  Part of the fun is the sheer variety of water you face, and the ever-changing hatches as you work your way down-river and through different hatches and different parts of the day.    We also go in early June, and it is HOT!

Dvorak Expeditions was the company we used, for the third year in row, for our three day flyfishing and rafting trip on the Gunnison River, in the Gunnison Gorge of the Black Canyon. Dvorak Expeditions led a great fly fishing trip, as always - we go in early June during Gunnison's famous Salmon Fly hatch. Each year we have caught that hatch on at least one of out three days of fishing. If the Salmon fly isn't presence there are many of other dry-fly fishing opportunities for Caddie especially, but many other Stone Flies as well.
