Son's First Flyfishing Trip - Gunnison River

I had an opportunity to fish the Gunnison River outside of Crested Butte with my son last week. It was his first fly trip ever and my first trout/river trip. We had a blast. He out-fished me, 8-6. We caught a nice mixture of rainbows and browns.

His first fish:


Fish on!


The big fish of the day. It went close to 20":

Well done sir!

Lifetime memories. Good job.

Supercool

That's what it's all about!

Very nice. Looks like he had a blast.
I returned on the 10th and fished the Gunnison 2 days. The fishing is great this year! Better than it has been in the past three or four.

Super post! Thanks for sharing.

Awesome

Great stuff...looks like the young man had a blast!

Nice!

Great scenery and fun.

Nice

Hey Bpharris- we are currently in Crested Butte until Saturday and was talking to a guide yesterday. He Said the bite has been awesome but I Don't fly fish. Tempted to start though.

Great photos. Super memories made.

RHP - my son hadn't fly fished before that trip. Those guides are good and teach you what you need to know for a day trip.

Great post

Those are the best memories anyone can ask for. I need to fly fish soon.
