Gunnison CO recommendations

[mark1j]

Headed to Gunnison mid July for 3 days. Plan on fly fishing. What is public access like in the area? Would I be better off hiring a guide service or is there enough water for diy? Don’t mind driving an hour to access a better area. Any advice is appreciated. Also any other recommendations on things do in the area.

Access is fine for the East, Gunnison, Ark, UNC, and Taylor.

A guided float would be worthwhile. The Ark and Gunnison are two of the rivers in Colorado that are experienced better on a boat. Especially the former.

UpRiver would be my choice for the Ark, and I think big horn canyon is a cool place

I think @bbrown might guide for Andrew.

I don't have a Gunnison recommendation from my own experience.

Used to work at Harmel’s on the Taylor in the summer and learned to fly fish there. Beautiful country and you can’t go wrong anywhere, but I’d get a guide just to make sure you get on a lot of fish.

Yes stop here after a long day outside and you’ll be happy you did

If you can catch them when they’re open go for the MacDaddy pizza at Gunnison Pizza Co. Blackstock Bistro’s lamb chops are on point and they usually have Pappy Van Winkle on the shelf if you’re a bourbon drinker.

The taxidermy shop on the main drag has the best collection of trophy mule deer under roof! If I lived in gunnison, I would visit once a week until they ran me off!

Find Hunter Enloe and have him take you.
His dad Scott is another option.

Traders Rendezvous is the shop with a ton of antlers outside. Amazing trophy mounts inside and very cool to explore.

If you’re in CB around breakfast, Gas cafe - get the triple bypass

Used to be the Cattleman's for a steak but I heard it burned down. Not sure if it was rebuilt.
