Happening Now: Water is very off color below the confluence due to the north fork coming in. Look to fish upstream of the north fork as the water is clearer. Coming in on the south side of the river is the only way to access this water the north fork is too high to cross.
Most Productive:Nmyphing stones, caddis, and san juan worms will be the most productive. We have seen some Salmonfly activity around this area but over the next week it be in full hatch mode by next week. even though we are seeing adults the fish arn't looking up yet so nymphing close to the bank is the way to go.

The rivers in the Gunnison Valley will continue to rise with runoff for the next couple of weeks or so. Tailwaters (Taylor River) and some smaller creeks are in good shape and continue to fish well.
