Gunnison River - tubeN2 - 05-26-2004
FISHING: Poor
Flow: 831 cfs, Gunnison
Clarity: Fair to poor
Water Temperature: Low to mid 40’s
Major Food Organisms: Midges, caddis, stoneflies, and baetis
Hatches: Midges, caddis, and baetis
14 Day Forecast: Run-off will prevail!
Tips and Other Information: Run off will prevail until Father’s Day! Fish the edges with stoneflies (I especially like a #8 Bitch Creek) dropped with a bead head of some sort. Copper Johns and Princes can be effective during run-off.
Effective Patterns: #18 Bead Head Prince, #20-22 Mercury Midge, #20-22 Black Beauty, #18 Bead Head Breadcrust#20 Barr Emergers, #18-20 Sparkle Wing RS II, #18-20 Bead Head Pheasant Tail, #20-26 Parachute Adams, and #18-22 Copper Johns.
