The Gunnison River is in the Black Canyon in CO. I've always wanted to fish that from the first time I saw it in a magazine. Well known for giant salmonfly hatches. You can Google "Gunnison River" and a whole lot of info pops up.

In my neck of the woods, there's some really great fishing. The White River, Norfork River, Crooked Creek, Buffalo National River...

Then there's also some great fishing in my home state of Wisconsin. Depends on what you want to fish for and I could point you in a good direction. Don't know of any guides up there except for "The Fly Fishers" fly shop run by Pat Ehlers in Milwaukee.

Your timeframe might be a little early for the mountains given all the snow in the Rockies this year, but Mid-Late June is a great time to hit the Driftless, or Michigan...you might even hit the hex hatch. Cheers.

12 to 14 hrs for Michigan.... That is my getaway area from Mid mo I do short 3 and 4 day trips a couple times a year

even if its not the Hex HATCH the hatches in general in Michigan are overwhelming, to what we see..... Plenty of famous fabled rivers to fish and miles and miles of fishable waters (Manistee, Pere Marquette, Muskegon, Betsie

Going in April for an quick early spawn steelhead and trout trip

Then back again for a summer brown and rainbow trip

The fall / early winter trip is only for the hardy due to weather but it is something up there when the big steelhead are running ....Just crazy trying to land those agressive monsters .

Started liking it more then the trek to Colorado Even though Colorado has beautiful landscape

Not being the most accomplished techincal fly fisher. Sometimes the need there is using 24-26's and making sure of a perfect dragless drifts in order to attract the sometimes wary trout I would at times get frustrated

Newbie tell me about the mid-summer trip. We're a little flexible on the dates we can go. Brown and rainbow sounds good. Tell me about the hex hatch and when is it? Read a little about it but not much.

If you are interested in Michigan (my favorite place to fly fish) I would recommend contacting Steve Fraley at http://www.fishbaldwin.com/ . He is a guide and fly shop owner in Baldwin Michigan that specializes in fishing the Pere Marquette River. The PM is a great small to mid-sized river that can be floated or wade fished for Browns, Rainbows, Brookies, and my favorite Steelhead (Spring and Fall for Steelies).
