River Section Description

Once on the Forest Service/public lands hop into the stream anywhere and fish for pan sized brook trout. The stream continues on at the hairpin turn, but if you stay on the road as past this point you'll end up fishing Firebox Creek. The lower river has beaver ponds mixed in with the river fishing.

Suggested Patterns

Drys: #12-16 Wulffs, Humpies, Stimulators, Caddis, Trudes and other dry attractors. Nymphs: #14-16 Prince, Pheasant Tail, Copper John, GR Hare's Ear, and all version of Gold bead nymphs. Try the Dry Dropper technique in this river.

Helpful Hints / Local Tips

4-5 Wt. rods 8-9' long rule the day. Can get brushy, so the smaller rods come in handy.

Latest Fishing Gossip

Pleasure Park Area Fishing Again

Just got off the phone with Al DeGrange of Gunnison River Expeditions. He reported that the inner gorge from Chukar to the Smith Fork is only slightly off color from the massive flash flood that went thru 6 days ago. He also reported that the Gunnison from Smith Fork down to Pleasure Park has about 3-4 feet of visibility and is clearing fast. Trips that went through yesterday had good results from the Smith Fork down. The North Fork itself is just slightly off color, so the lower Gunnison should be fishing well.
