Gunnison River Expeditions/ North Rim Hunt Club

Established in 1985, Gunnison River Expeditions stands as the largest and most experienced fly fishing outfitter on the Gunnison River in Hotchkiss. The company guides float fishing and white water rafting trips through the Black Canyon of the Gunnison Gorge, a billion-year-old canyon recognized for its Gold Medal water, abundant insect hatches, and rich populations of rainbow and brown trout. Guests encounter wildlife including bighorn sheep, mule deer, river otters, peregrine falcons, and eagles while navigating Class III-IV rapids. Beyond the river, North Rim Hunt Club offers upland hunting experiences for all skill levels. A unique partnership with Pleasure Park provides customers access to private-property fishing stretches and limited jet boat tours into the Gunnison Gorge Wilderness, reaching Smith Fork. Experienced guides cater to every level of adventure, ensuring organized and well-run trips that combine excellent food, comfortable accommodations, and scenic beauty.
