The fishing year at Three Rivers Resort is dictated by the seasons and the health of the rivers. Spring runoff typically subsides by late May or early June, opening up the prime summer fishing. From June through September, the Taylor, East, and Gunnison Rivers offer excellent opportunities for trout. The Gunnison River, in particular, is highlighted for its dry fly fishing during this period, with PMDs, Caddis, and Green Drakes providing consistent action. As fall approaches, the colors change, and the fishing remains strong, with blog posts mentioning September splendor and the tail end of hatches. Winter brings a unique opportunity for ice fishing on local reservoirs, targeting species like Mackinaw and Northern Pike, while the Taylor River's catch-and-release section offers a technical, year-round fly fishing challenge for those willing to brave the cold.
