Colorado's Best Fly Fishing: Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park

Josh and I returned to Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park in Colorado to fly fish on the Gunnison River. The Gold Metal Waters are filled with wild trout and the stunning canyon walls make for the best fly fishing back drop we could ask for. This is our second time at this world-class fly fishing destination, but you don't get to fish without putting in a lot of effort to descend into the depths of the Black Canyon of the Gunnison. The hiking is extremely rugged and you work for every cast. We had hoped to fly fish in the canyon during the salmon fly hatch, but we ended up being about a week early. The Colorado fly fishing was still fantastic and we are already planning our next trip back to Black Canyon of the Gunnison.
