Fishing at Waunita Hot Springs
The Gunnison basin offers a wide variety of fishing opportunities. Within
a one hour radius you can fish the largest reservoir in Colorado (Blue
Mesa), or smaller lakes and reservoirs featuring Rainbows, Browns, even
Kokani Salmon & Perch. Rivers include the well known Gunnison and
Taylor
Rivers, Cochetope & Tomichi Creeks. High Country fishing in smaller
streams
and beaver ponds feature brook trout.
All of the "off ranch" fishing would require a Colorado fishing license. At the ranch, take advantage of the stocked kids fishing lake for those beginner fly fishing lessons. A license is not required for the ranch lake.
As for fishing gear, you
should plan on bringing your own fishing gear. We do have some
gear/tackle for sale
in
the
gift
shop, and we can always pick something up for you in town.
You'll enjoy the fish fry that is a part of the Thursday evening cookout. In fact, we'll cook up your catch for you and your fellow guests.
