• High water years equal rising water levels and unstable conditions. This environment typically results in a tougher bite, especially from smart, old, big fish! Persistence, adaptation, and a little bit of luck can go a long way, but sometimes you just have to take your shirt off and do the big fish dance to get the big girls to bite 😁!!! #laketrout #bluemesa #iamgettingsohotimgoingtotakemyshirtoff #sportfishcolorado #bluemesafishing #gunnisoncolorado #gunnisoncrestedbutte #crestedbutte #visitcb #curecanti #laketroutmafia #trophytrout #fishing #trouthunter #laketroutfishing #Trokar #wrightMcGillFieldstaff

  • I’ve fished with Travis and Shelby for the last three years I’ve gotten to watch them grow into quite the fishermen and women! They were excited first thing this morning and so were the salmon! #bluemesa #sportfishcolorado #kokaneesalmon #visitgcb #bluemesafishing

  • The salmon bite is heating up on Blue Mesa! Nicole and Sarah are making the most of their summer vacation while visiting Gunnison with their grandparents! We are seeing some nice sized fish for this time of year! #sportfishcolorado #visitgcb #bluemesa #kokaneesalmon #bluemesafishing

  • Yesterday Blue Mesa dam began releasing more snowmelt from the surrounding mountains. By early July Blue Mesa reservoir is expected to rise to within four feet from full. It rises one foot per day. Quite a feat from being down 82 feet in March! Repost from @curecantinps #bluemesa #sportfishcolorado

  • Want to know the secret to getting a 4 and 5 year old into ice fishing in negative temps with no complaints? An @eagleclawshappell insulated ice hut! Good fishing doesn’t hurt either 😄 *All daily bag limits were adhered to this day. . . . . #icefishcolorado #visitgcb #icefishing #eagleclawfieldstaff #gunnison #kokaneesalmon #takeakidicefishing #takeakidfishing

  • ~SPECIAL MOMENTS~ I’ve been blessed to be a part of a lot of special moments on the ice, but none quite like this one! Matt and his father Mike spent three days fishing with us and on day two, after a move, Matt and Mike doubled up 30 seconds apart with a 40.5” and 41” in lake trout!!! Thanks to our trusty @trokarhooks, we landed them almost simultaneously which gave us the special opportunity to get a double pic without harming either fish! I’ve had doubles before but never to this caliber. Matt, Mike, and I all know the good Lord blessed us with this special moment! . . . . #icefishcolorado #sportfishcolorado #visitgcb #bluemesa #gunnison #icefishing #eagleclawfieldstaff #laketrout #laketroutfishing #laketroutmafia #mackinawfishing
