Guest Phaseolus (BeanMan) Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 My Younger brother and I have been backpacking into the National Park Section of the Black Canyon of the Gunnison every fall, this last 3 days was our 22nd annual trip into the gorge. It is my favorite spot in Colorado and the best fishing by far. The hike is extremely steep and physically demanding with a full pack. This year we had 2 miles of premium river all to ourselves and did not see another person while catching many fish. We were blessed with perfect weather in the 70's. This is the section of river (taken from an overlook 2500' above the river) that we camped on and fished for three days. My 'Little Bro' (age 45) casting Some of the Fish Fat Rainbow Brownie My Smiling Brother and a nice bow I left out the pictures of us crossing the Gunny by wading with our clothes held high over our heads. Thanks for looking, Beanman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ousoonerfan22 Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 Re: Black Canyon of the Gunnison Nice pictures! I'm jealous. I've heard there are some big bulls in the rough country near that canyon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
