Located in the heart of the Colorado Rockies, Crested Butte and Gunnison are truly an angler’s paradise. Surrounded by pristine rivers and spectacular mountains, it is easy to see why so many come for the fishing and stay for the scenery. Whether you’re interested in chasing rainbows and browns on the Gunnison River, or moving through pocket water on our smaller streams, our guides will be by your side to share their wealth of knowledge on our local watershed. Choose from a walk wade trip, float trip, or multi-day combination of both, depending on your preferences.
No matter if you are a lifelong angler or casting a fly rod for the first time, our guides will teach you based on your skill set. Let us choose the flies, tackle, and equipment to help you land your first trout on a fly or fight the fish of a lifetime.
Private Water Options
The feeling of solitude is a major reason many of us choose to enjoy the sport of fly fishing. Irwin Guides is fortunate to have private water opportunities for our guests to experience. With miles of beautiful oxbows and sheltering willows, Tomichi Creek is where you’ll quickly find yourself focused on the pursuit of catching fish instead of contemplating your next move based on the traffic of other anglers. This wild brown trout fishery is paradise when it comes to Colorado fly fishing. Split up by beats, this stretch of river remains sustainable with eager fish all summer long. Tomichi Creek reservations are based on availability and water conditions. A rod fee is required to gain access to this section of river. Call us to find out more.
