There's so much fun water in that river basin to fish. The Taylor and Gunnison is what gets everyone there, but I've spent countless trips out there fishing the smaller creeks and tributaries that feed into the Gunny and Taylor. If you have time on your next trip you should make the 75 minute drive from Gunnison to the Black Canyon and fish some of the browns that lurk at the bottom of it. The fishing pressure there isn't nearly as intense as the rest of the Gunnison and you can fool some pretty massive brown trout that would otherwise laugh at your rig anywhere else on the river.
Spring Creek and the Upper Taylor are awesome on the Taylor.
Cochetopa Creek and Tomichi Creek are dry fly paradises during the summer that feed into the Gunnison not too far from town.
We will usually pull the camper up around mile marker 8 on the Buena Vista side of Cottonwood Pass during the summer. It's pretty easy to pop into BV to restock food and it's about a 35 minutes drive over the pass from there to the C&R on the Taylor.
