Pleasure Park on the Gunnison
This is a good all year around fishing spot. It is some of the most productive water I've ever fished. I have only been skunked once in all the times I've fished there!
The East Portal on the Gunnison is one of the most beautiful spots I have ever fished. It is located deep in the Black Canyon and you may spend more time looking than fishing. It is only open late spring thru early fall because of the road that leads to it.
GUNNISON RIVER: The Gunnison River in the Gunnison Gorge provides some of the best trophy brown and rainbow trout fishing in the state. Numerous fish over 16 inches can be caught particularly in the middle stretch between Crystal and the confluence with the North Fork, but only foot access is available to this section.
Location: Take Highway 92, 15 miles east of Delta to the Pleasure Park turn-off (200 yards before crossing the railroad tracks). Foot access available down the Duncan, Ute, Chukar and Bobcat trails.
TAYLOR RIVER AND RESERVOIR: Excellent rainbow and brown trout fishing is available in the tailwater below Taylor Dam and reservoir, where anglers have taken trout 8 pounds and up! In the reservoir, 10- to 14-inch rainbow, brown, Snake River cutthroat and lake trout along with kokanee salmon.
Location: Northeast of Almont on Highway 742.
