⚠ Runoff season — check live gauge before driving

Peak runoff — flows often too high and turbid for most wading. Lower river near Delta may settle faster. Check gauge daily. Excellent post-runoff fishing begins in July.

About Gunnison River

Gold Medal water through the dramatic Black Canyon and Gunnison Gorge. Trophy brown and rainbow trout — but access requires a serious hike. Not for the timid.
