I fish the Gunnison every year, on river road between Pleasure Park and Austin. Where did you put in Chukar trail, and where was the take out. Did you go with an outfitter? Sorry for all the questions, but your trip is one I have been wanting to do for a long time, and I am jealous...Lawton

No worries. We went with Dvorak Expeditions. Mark Richardson was the head guide for the 3 day trip down the gorge. He's an excellent guide, and man did he work to set up camps, and put on us lots of fish. The flow was about 1250 cfs higher than optimal, but we probably missed more fish that we landed. They packed everything down Chukar Trail the night before and we met at Pleasure Park the morning of the launch. They drove us down to the Chuker trailhead, were we hiked down with our personal gear. Once we got to the bottom, they rigged up the boats and it was on! We floated all the way back to Pleasure park for the take out. About 14 miles.

Thanks for the details. The blue Mesa reservoir is about full (a big change from last year at this time) so I'm guessing Gunnison flow rates will be high for a while. There are some areas in Northern NM that I want to fish this year, maybe in combination with the Gunnison and lakes on Grand Mesa, just need a couple of guys to go with and split cost...Lawton

I have heard those Hofer cross rainbows are doing very well in the gorge. Your pic shows that.
