August 23rd, 2008
Location Fished: Fished the East Portal section of the Black Canyon of the
Gunnison River, CO
Size and Species: Brown and Rainbow Trout 17"-17.5"
Flies Used: Midges! Midges! Midges!
#20 Green Disco Midge, #22 Flashback Midge Larvae (basically black thread
on an invisible hook).
Other Details: Fishing was extraordinary. Did not fish it for too long but
definitely worth it. Nymphing the whole time. There were a few people but
plenty of water. Even though the river is big find any and all softer water. They
are in there. Scenery+Fish+Weather= Amazing!!!. Had a rainbow take me like
70 yards downstream. Fell and banged up my knee while sprinting after him. It
was pretty awesome.
