Did the 3 day Gunnison Gorge trip. It was absolutely awesome. The guides were very knowledgeable and friendly. The meals were top of the line. I would do this trip again and would recommend to anyone thinking about doing the Gunnison Gorge trip.

Just returned from an amazing trip on the Gunnison. Kato, Adam, John and Tru made this float unforgettable in every way. I had never fished before and Adam was so patient and helped me catch several. Epic experience….10/10.

Epic three-day float trip through Gunnison Gorge with Ed's Fly Shop. Just couldn't have been better organized and guided. Top-to-bottom buttoned up operation. Guides, Kato, Tres, Adam and Jacob all first-class and top-flight guides who know their stuff and pass it on. Ed's story is a classic American success story, and he's just a terrific human being to boot. If you're fishing and floating in Colorado, if you want the best there is to offer, check out Ed's.

After missing our connecting flight because of the IT outage, we didn't get to Montrose until the day our drift trip started. Ed not only picked us up at the airport, but he made sure one of the boats stayed back so that we could enjoy the three day, 2 night float. The guides, Kato, Adam and Tres, were fantastic and the food was amazing. Ed's attention to detail for overnight floats is unmatched. He and his team display the utmost professionalism, passion and skill. We absolutely enjoyed this trip!
