ROCKY MOUNTAIN FEVER

Five Reasons To Look Forward to Summer in Colorado

There’s a reason why Colorado has earned a worldwide reputation for its fly fishing. Beyond its tens of thousands of trout fisheries (hundreds of which boast Gold Medal status) and its legendary landscapes that hit you with a rush of sensory dopamine on those rare off days when the fishing’s slow, there’s still innumerable spots across the state’s colorful mountainside that have yet to be discovered. That’s where we come in—your on-the-ground and in-the-water Eleven Angling team, ready to show you the best of it all.

REASON #1

PICTURE THIS: GOLD-MEDAL TROUT FISHERIES AND 360° PERSONALIZATION

It’s about where you are (and who you’re with.)

All else aside, the Gunnison Valley (which all but haphazardly houses Eleven’s flagship property) is home to some of Colorado’s finest trout waters.

A diverse drainage system, including the gold medal fisheries of the Taylor and the Gunnison, provides a wonderfully healthy habitat for the four major species: brown, rainbow, cutthroat, and brook trout. There you have the foundation for the ultimate in never-to-be-forgotten angling experiences that keeps you coming back for more until the end of time. The grand slam? Eleven’s access to hundreds of miles on the Gunnison, Taylor, and East Rivers; and the finest of guides, customization, and lodging. Welcome to the full package, the whole nine yards, and the full caboodle.

REASON #2

YOU CAN FINALLY GO ON YOUR BUCKET LIST FLOAT.

The Gunnison Gorge package starts with three nights at Taylor River Lodge, followed by arguably the best overnight fly fishing trip in the lower 48—the 2-night Gunnison Gorge wilderness float. This coming summer, we’ll be offering flexible reservations throughout the summer, so you’ll be able to pick and choose your dates to best suit your summer plans. Trust us when we say that the combination of chasing trophies just off the porch of your private cabin and float fishing 1,800+ feet of the Gunni Gorge’s Gold Medal fishery deserves a spot on your calendar.
