Über diesen Titel

The Gunnison River in winter is not one river. It is three very different fisheries tied together by cold water, short feeding windows, and trout that punish sloppy decisions. The Upper Gunnison, Black Canyon, and Lower Gunnison all stay open and fishable through winter, but each demands a different approach.

This is not a place to improvise. If you understand where to fish, when to fish, and how slow is slow enough, the Gunnison quietly rewards you. Miss the window and it feels lifeless.

Across the system, flows are low and stable, clarity is excellent, and winter has fully settled in. Overnight freezes push trout into deeper, slower water, and feeding windows compress into a predictable midday band. Pressure is light overall, especially outside the Upper Gunnison corridor.

This is precision fishing season.
