After climbing 2000' down a canyon wall, we find an incredible Salmonfly hatch happening on the Gunnison River in the Black Canyon of Western Colorado with Rainbow and Brown trout chowing down. This is no trip for the faint-hearted and with the help of a ton of batteries, we were able to film it all!

Drayton Calmes dude thanks a ton! Took a lot of work to get all that camera gear down in there, but when people are kind enough to say things like that^^^ it makes us feel good! Question for ya, what’s the biggest fish you’ve caught in the canyon?

@@TheElementWild I hear the blue river has some donkeys in it....especially if you bring some private land owners a case of beer to fish there property. Also the Taylor river, which converges with the East river to form the Gunnison, would be awesome.

I went fishing while the hatch was strong. I don't understand the hatch. They were flying everywhere but none we're landong on the water? Not one took my dry fly?
@TheElementWild
@TheElementWild 6 лет назад
Daniel Jantz interesting. We def didn’t see it happening that way for us.
@cowboyupland
@cowboyupland 6 лет назад
Sometimes if you see lots of bugs it is the front of the hatch and the fish aren't looking up for the adults yet. Try a large nymph in that case. Sometimes they just get gorged.
@kalebsmith2155
@kalebsmith2155 6 лет назад
Daniel Jantz stinks that you didn’t get any eats. Were the fish taking real bugs of the surface? Sometimes your fly can get lost in the crowd as well. Maybe you could try some short strips or lifts to may your dry stand out? Cowboy AT also has some solid advise!

Three out of the last four years i have hiked into the Black, during the summer, the National Park Service has extracted a corpse from the bottom of the canyon. Talk about lousy timing; the search and recovery -each time- happened during my 3 day stay in the park. The point is, the "routes" into the canyon (the NPS refuses to call them trails) are not to be taken lightly. Over 2000 (closer to 3000) vertical feet, pretty much straight down, and one slip or tumble and you are looking at 40-50 search and rescue volunteers mobilized to get your a$$ out of that hole (dead or alive). Don't believe me? Look it up. The fishing is ok, but the scenery is better if you can enjoy it without a S&R bill in the hundreds of thousands $$$$. Oh yeah, and don't forget about the poison ivy :( Tight lines!
