Action Angler hosted trip on the Gunnison River/Black Canyon

June 29, 2010

Montrose, CO.

Check back soon 

 

Action Angler is putting together a 3 day float trip on the Gunnison River through the Black Canyon in Colorado for June 29, 2010. This is an unbelievable fishery with incredible scenery. The Gunnison is featured in the book 50 places to fish before you die for a reason. The aquatic life in this river is very hard to comprehend. For a water to qualify for Gold Medal status in Colorado it must produce more than 60 pounds per acre of trout and at least 12 of those trout per acre must top 14 inches in length, the Gunnison River has 374 pounds per acre of trout and 7200 fish per mile +/- 1100. There are over 9000 miles of river in Colorado and only about 160 miles of them fit the gold medal standards. Attached is a detailed description of the trip, and a rate sheet with prices. Black Canyon Anglers is the highest quality and most experienced outfitter on the river and will be the guide service we will go through. Availability is limited so if you are interested please contact me as soon as possible. Here is a link to their website for more info:

http://www.blackcanyonanglers.com/index.html

Here's how it works... it is $1700 per person + cabins and dinner ($125 the night before the trip) and the optional cabins and dinner the night after the trip. Cabins and dinner before the trip ($125) + $1700 per person boat cost = $1825 per person. If you want to stay the night they come off the river we they just tack that on.

The total cost of the trip would be $11,900.00 (7 people x $1700 each).


 

I am trying to save June 29th for for this hosted trip. To confirm and guarantee it we will have to have half the trip deposit. We will need to arrive at the lodge the afternoon of June 28th. There are only 3 spots left. I have added an additional date for July 11, and have 4 spots for that date. If there is a date that works better for you, contact me and I will check availability.

Our annual fly fishing event is typically held on the second Saturday of December from 9am to 11am. The schedule of the event is dependant on the availability of trout to stock for the event. The fee for the 2008 event was $30 per angler, and these fees are used to purchase additional trout to be stocked at the Action Angler river access (3rd crossing). Each angler received products donated from Frog Hair, Westwater Products, and flies from Action Angler. Montana Fly Company sent fly tying materials for door prizes. Echo sent demo rods for the event. Four guides donated their time for the event. This ensured that each angler received quality instruction from a guide.

If you would like to donate funds towards the purchase of trout to be stocked in the Guadalupe River, click the gift certificate link below. (trout cost $1.25 each)

Thank you so much for showing my husband, Craig Hill, a great time on Saturday.  He absolutely LOVED it.  He is so excited to have learned new things about fly fishing. He said you were so extremely nice and professional.
Have a great day!
Becca Hill
Hey,
Thanks for hosting the event on Saturday.  Chandler and I had a good time.
hey just leaving gardo's, caught probably 10 and lost another 10-all using stuff learned yesterday, so thanks again! :)
Hi, Chris.  I just wanted to thank you and the other guides for an educational and fun day.  I learned a lot.  I even went out again later in the day - our subdivision has a private river park between the 2nd and 3rd crossing.  I saw trout, but they weren't too interested in eating.  I missed a couple, I think (it could have been the bottom!)  Anyway, thanks again.  I'll be calling sometime to make sure you're there and come out for some flies, etc

Had a great time, learned a TON, thanks for everything! :)
