Fish the upper Black Canyon of the Gunnison on Morrow Point Reservoir
Welcome to the headwaters of the Black Canyon of the Gunnison! Morrow Point Reservoir is a hydro-dam located 11 miles downriver from Blue Mesas Dam and is Home to some of the most amazing fishing and scenery in Colorado. I guide fishing on Morrow Point from May into September and fish for Kokanee Salmon, Brown Trout, Rainbows, Lake Trout, Brookies, and a few kinds of Cut Throats. Catch em' all in the day and it's "MP grand slam". This guided fishing trip can truly be a trip of a lifetime and is considered by most the "Best Fishing Tour" in Colorado.
