• Samuel caught his first EVER fish with us today along with several others! He was absolutely thrilled and said that he “can’t wait to eat them!” Congrats Samuel, I have a feeling you are going to be a fellow “koke addict!” #thefuture #kokaneefishing #bluemesa #sportfishcolorado #bluemesafishing #takeakidfishing #guidelife #salmonfishing #visitgcb

  • I’ve been blessed over the years to experience several doubles on fish over 30” at the same time and have had a few close calls with a triple, but never had it all come together and actually landed until just recently! The word “circus” is a vast under statement as to the chaos that ensued for this to happen! 🤣 The cliff notes version include a go pro that almost ended up at the bottom of the lake and a broken rod as we netted the third fish! All three fish were released to grow and be a memory for someone else one day! 🙏🔥💪 Congrats to Bill, Bob, and Steve for making history on my boat! 🙌👊 #sportfishcolorado #bluemesafishing #fishingguide #guidelife #coloradofishermen #openwaterfishing #visitgcb #iamafisherman #fishingislife #fishon #passionforfishing #laker #triple #laketrout #triplehookups #chaos

  • The salmon are some of the biggest we remember for this time of year! They are psycho too, with lots of acrobatics!!! This is a stark difference from the lethargic salmon of last year. We are still seeing gill lice on them, but we are encouraged with what we are seeing so far! #sportfishcolorado #bluemesafishing #fishingguide #guidelife #coloradofishermen #openwaterfishing #visitgcb #iamafisherman #fishingislife #fishon #passionforfishing #kokaneesalmon #salmon #fishfordinner

  • Blue Mesa is open to boating! Fishing has been good for all species! The trout fishing has been excellent!! Casting for browns and trolling for rainbows has been exceptional, some salmon are showing up and the lake trout action is good if you can time it right! Brooklyn reeled in rainbow after rainbow just hoping to catch a salmon for dinner like mommy had and alas the last fish of the day (while daddy was reeling everything in )was her dinner! #sportfishcolorado #bluemesafishing #fishingguide #guidelife #coloradofishermen #openwaterfishing #visitgcb #iamafisherman #fishingislife #fishon #passionforfishing #kidswhofish #takeakidfishing #kokaneefishing #springfishing #kokaneesalmon #gunnisoncolorado #lund #lundboats

  • **The Hunt** Big lake trout can be found searching for food alone or small groups. Regardless, the first step to catching them is finding them, which always requires some hunting! Once you find a traffic area, enticing a 20-30 year old fish is no easy task, but learning to read the mood of the fish and persistence can pay big dividends! I hooked this bruiser close to the bottom and she ran up like a rocket and ripped a bunch of line out as she ran right under the ice! Fortunately, I hooked her with a self poured lead-head on a heavy wire Trokar 90 degree jig hook that kept her pegged through the fight! These fish are an incredible resource to Colorado and the least we can do as anglers is to take care of them when they are out of the water and hurry to release them back to the depths; prolonging their life and providing an opportunity for a fellow angler in the future! #icefishcolorado #hardwaterfishing #coloradofishing #coloradoicefishing #anyonecanfish #sportfishcolorado #coloradophotography #coloradowinters #sled #icefishingguide #fishingguide #guidelife #coloradofishermen #trophyfish #catchandrelease #cpr #catchpicturerelease

  • Blue Mesa lack of ice update: 1/8/20 There is 6-8” of ice from the Gunnison river inlet to just passed the power lines west of elk creek in the narrows. There 4-8” of snow on top of the ice. We have had snow machines from the inlet to elk creek. The rest of the lake is mostly open water! There is a little bit of ice forming on the north side of cebolla and around red creek islands to middle bridge. Also a small patch by the dam but nothing safe to ice fish. The temps have been cold, but there is a lot of dark water to cool this year in those deeper basins! Fishing has been very good for rainbows and browns, smaller lake trout, and some days some salmon show up! There are also a few jumbo perch making an appearance here and there! There’s a lot of ice to ice fish but we are looking forward to when the next two basins cap! #icefishcolorado #hardwaterfishing #coloradofishing #bluemesa #visitgcb #coloradoicefishing #anyonecanfish #sportfishcolorado #coloradophotography #coloradowinters #icefishingguide #fishingguide #guidelife #coloradofishermen

  • I’ve never had triplets out on a trip with me before, but today changed that! Caleb, Cristina, and Cameron, along with their older brother Diego, all got a taste of ice fishing!
