About this water
The Gunnison River through the Black Canyon is a legendary Gold Medal fishery accessible only by a strenuous hike into one of Colorado's most dramatic gorges, rewarding adventurous anglers with trophy brown and rainbow trout in a remote wilderness setting. The river holds some of the largest wild trout in Colorado, with fish commonly exceeding 20 inches. Access requires a permit and significant physical effort, making it a true bucket-list destination.
