Kokanee run · Gunnison River
Late-fall spawning kokanee push up the Gunnison through the Almont confluence. Cottonwoods gone gold, water thick with crimson bodies moving upstream.
Colorado waters
The rivers we design around.
Field views from the water we love — the Gunnison kokanee run near Almont, and the wild trout that share those cobbles. Reference photography for the way we approach stream, stormwater, and streambank work.
Spawning gravels
Kokanee · underwater
Bright red flanks and dark green heads over cobble. This is the season Ansom looks at streambanks with an especially light hand.
Colorado tailwater
Wild rainbow trout
Pink stripe holding in the current above smooth stone. Clarity like this is a design constraint — every inch of upstream stormwater choice shows up here.
Freestone reach
Wild brown trout
Buttery gold on gravel with mayfly drift and low-angle light. The reason we care about temperature, cover, and sediment budgets.
