Fishing
Make Kebler Corner basecamp for your next Colorado fishing adventure! For both spin rod and fly rod fishermen, the North Fork of the Gunnison and the Gunnison River are abundant with Rainbow and Brown Trout. The famed Taylor River (near Gunnison, CO) is home to some of the largest Rainbow Trout in Colorado; the Taylor River has a Kokanee Salmon run that occurs every fall.
If you prefer lake fishing, this area is also home to several high alpine lakes and streams that contain Cutthroat, Brook Trout and more, which you can find here. Try your luck in Paonia Reservoir or Crawford State Park Reservoir where you can fish for Perch and Crappie as well as Channel Catfish, Largemouth Bass or even Northern Pike.
You can even try your luck right here at Kebler Corner. The Anthracite Creek runs right through our property, and is home to Brown, Rainbow and Brook Trout. While we can’t give away too many secrets, there are a few honey holes!
While in the area, you may also want to visit the Hotchkiss National Fish Hatchery – it is the perfect family field trip for fish enthusiasts.
Fishing licenses can be purchased online by visiting the Colorado Parks and Wildlife website. We do not sell them at Kebler Corner. Please contact us for more information regarding our on-site fishing policies and opportunities on the Anthracite Creek.
