FLY FISHING

The Gunnison River (or "Gunny" as the locals call her) is renowned as a rainbow and brown trout fishery. Trophy fish of 20+ inches are the prize of these waters. All trips are staffed with professional fly fishing guides and conducted as either floats or walk and wades.

Black Canyon Anglers is a sponsor of Trout Unlimited.

Catch and Release: Black Canyon Anglers practices "catch and release" principles. Barbless hooks are required.

Season: Mid May through early October. Please call or e-mail for availability.

Float Trips
trip length	2 guests/1 guide
1 day	$1200 (per boat)
2 day	$2,800 (per boat)
3 day	$3,400 (per boat)
* gear boat - 2 day	$1,400 (per boat)
* gear boat - 3 day	$1,700 (per boat)

* This is an optional extra charge to pay for an extra guide to row an extra boat. This boat will carry all the camp gear and the guide will perform most of the camp chores. This provides more room in your boat and also frees up your personal boat guide to spend more time with you fishing.

Prices are based on 2 guests and 1 guide per boat and include all rafting gear, camping gear, food, shuttle fees, horse pack fees, and federal user fees. A tip for the guides based on their performance is greatly appreciated at the end of the trip. Guests are responsible for their own personal gear - fishing equipment (rentals available), license, flies, sleeping bag (rentals available), personal clothing, etc. All trips begin with a van ride over a rough 4x4 road to the rim of the canyon. From there all guests and guides hike a moderate 1 mile trail down the Chukar Trail to the river while carrying their personal gear. All float trips cover a 14 mile stretch of river and take out downstream at the confluence with the North Fork of the Gunnison River .

Black Canyon Anglers prides itself on serving delicious food that includes hot breakfasts, tasty lunches, and gourmet dinners (appetizer, entree, and dessert).
