For over four decades, anglers have trusted our expert guides to create unforgettable experiences on the Gold Medal Waters of the Upper Gunnison River. From helping novices land their first rainbow trout to showing experienced fly fishers the best hidden spots, we provide personalized instruction in casting, presentation, and local fishing techniques. Our guided Float Fishing and Walk-Wade tours highlight the record-setting waters where Colorado state record Rainbow, Brown, and Lake Trout have been caught.

Gunnison Fish & Raft has been proudly serving the Gunnison and Crested Butte area since 1979, offering tailored trips for families, friends, and fishing enthusiasts of all skill levels. For non-fishing guests, we also provide custom casual Class II float trips, perfect for enjoying the river’s beauty in a private, season-long adventure. Join us for a truly memorable river experience that combines expert guidance, local knowledge, and the unmatched scenery of Colorado’s premier trout waters.
