Fly Fishing the Black Canyon of the Gunnison

“What’s more impressive about the Black Canyon is the river’s rate of descent within its 48-mile length. The river drops an average of 96 feet per mile within the Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park. The steepest drop is a two mile stretch where the river drops 480 feet.” David Sikes writes about a late summer trip to the Gunnison for the Corpus Christi Caller.
