Experience a hike-to-fish weekend retreat involving camping, fly fishing, and good times with like-minded anglers! Join Ema for this weekend-long excursion in Gunnison, Colorado. It's a great opportunity to build confidence in your fishing skills and learn from professional fly fishing guides. No prior fishing or camping experience is required.
About the Lake Fork
The Lake Fork flows through a tight, rocky canyon where it feeds into Colorado's largest body of water: Blue Mesa Reservoir. Spruce, pines, and sagebrush dot the hillsides, and elk, deer, black bears, ducks, and geese may make an appearance if we're lucky! Migratory songbirds are passing through this time of year, and western tanagers and grosbeaks may offer viewing opportunities. Trout species are abundant in the Lake Fork, and expect to catch rainbow and brown trout (and maybe even a lake trout)! Nymphs and worms are commonly used flies this time of year, but bring a couple of dry flies just in case an early hatch lights off.
