Lake Fork of the Gunnison River, CO
June 24, 2008
Rainbow Trout
Flies: Beaded Black Woolly Bugger #6
Other Details: We rode quads up to Burrows Park near Cinnamon Pass and fished the Lake Fork. The quads were awesome! I had more fun riding them than fishing. I caught one Brook trout in a beaver pond. Later that evening, we went to Ragle's Pond and I caught 4 trout on streamers. My Uncle Sean helped me with the first one, then I caught the rest on my own. I want a quad for Christmas!

Gunnison River, CO
August 22nd, 2008
Location Fished: Fished the Gunnison River above Blue Mesa River for about 2 to 3 miles or so.
Size and Species: Brown Trout 7" -15"
Flies Used: #20 Mercer Mayfly (Micro Mayfly) and #20 Black Zebra Midge
Other Details: Fishing  was mainly nymphing. My dad tried a Red Quill for a while and was pretty successful but because the flows were low the fish were holding in very skinny water. Fishing was good though. Use small traditional patterns and get drifts as dead as possible.

Black Canyon of the Gunnison River, CO
August 23rd, 2008
Location Fished: Fished the East Portal section of the Black Canyon of the Gunnison River, CO
Size and Species: Brown and Rainbow Trout 17"-17.5"
Flies Used: Midges! Midges! Midges! #20 Green Disco Midge, #22 Flashback Midge Larvae (basically black thread on an invisible hook).
Other Details: Fishing was extraordinary. Did not fish it for too long but definitely worth it. Nymphing the whole time. There were a few people but plenty of water. Even though the river is big find any and all softer water. They are in there. Scenery+Fish+Weather= Amazing!!!. Had a rainbow take me like 70 yards downstream. Fell and banged up my knee while sprinting after him. It was pretty awesome.
