Big Dry Fly Action on the Gunnison | The New Fly Fisher in Colorado

With: The New Fly Fisher

Today’s Fly Life Media Video of the Day is a sunny slice of hopper heaven on Colorado’s legendary Gunnison River. Guide and angler Mark Melnyk teams up with the crew at Ed’s Fly Shop in Montrose, showing us why big foam flies and willing trout are a match made in late-summer heaven. Despite forest fires near Black Canyon, the rivers are clear, flowing well, and absolutely fishing lights out.

If you’ve been waiting for a reason to tie on a hopper and get out there, this is it. This episode reminds us that sometimes, all it takes is a well-placed cast and a big dry to turn an ordinary day into something unforgettable.
