Because the Blue Mesa Lake is so large, long and often very intimidating to fish, Gunnison Sports Outfitters was formed in 2007 to provide visiting and resident anglers with a high quality fishing experience with guides that have all the right equipment, know where the fish are, and most importantly—know how to catch them and provide their clients with a fantastic fishing expedition!

Headquartered at Gene Taylors Sporting Goods store--- 201 W. Tomichi Ave in Gunnison, CO., the Gunnison Sports Outfitters team is fully-licensed and certified to guide “year round” on the Blue Mesa Lake. The team of guides is headed up by Andy Cochran, noted long time Blue Mesa Lake angler and member of both the Pure Fishing and Eagle Claw Tackle pro-staff team.

“What makes Gunnison Sports Outfitters so unique is that we can tailor a fishing adventure for everyone from the hard-core professional to the novice angler, families looking for a quality outdoor adventure, companies looking for a unique retreat and members of POMA and other outdoor Press groups that are looking for a great story and multi-species fishing destination,” says Andy Cochran. “We provide the boats, the guides and all the gear. You provide proof of a fishing license and bring a smile. We'll take care of the rest!”@hotmail.com
