Location
Almont, Colorado is where the East River and the Taylor River meet to form the mighty Gunnison! The beauty here is unsurpassed…no wonder it’s one of Colorado’s premier fishing spots!
Located just outside Gunnison, Colorado, at the beautiful Almont Resort, our event is one to remember—fundraising has never been so beautiful and relaxing. Thanks to our supporters at Almont Resort and Three Rivers Resort we have access to top notch guides and breathtaking views on trout-rich waters!
A portion of the event might happen on US. Forest Service land.
Preliminary schedule
The event encompasses three amazing days of fishing, eating, socializing and relaxing.
Thursday: All teams check in Thursday afternoon at the Almont Resort in Almont, Colorado. Settle into your riverside lodging (included in your event fee) before joining us for cocktails and dinner (also included), starting at 6:30 p.m. in the event building of the Resort. You can cast a few lines that evening right at the resort while meeting the other participants. As a bonus, you will also receive a welcome packet and gift bag loaded with items from some of the most respected brands in the fly fishing industry.
Friday: On Friday morning, teams are assigned their stunning river locations and the fishing begins! All teams will have access to amazing stretches on the Gunnison River, East River and Taylor River. While our base camp is the Almont Resort, we are very lucky (and thankful!) that the owners of Three Rivers Resort are supporting our event by offering access to their pristine private waters. The fishing here is legendary!
Friday night concludes with dinner and drinks (included), followed by a silent and live auction with a professional auctioneer.
Saturday: For your second full day on the river, teams will continue to rotate fishing locations in the morning and afternoon. Saturday night we’ll have an awards ceremony with dinner and drinks (included) as awards are handed out.
Sunday: Pack up, fist bump friends (new and old) and head safely home.

Charity being supported by this event
Risers 4 Rett’s main purpose is to raise funds for the Rett Clinic at the Children's Hospital Colorado. The Clinic requires a minimum of $100,000/year to provide support to Rett families. One of our top goals when establishing this Clinic, was to provide a place where the doctors come to the patients, not the other way around. So Rett Families conveniently stay in one. But besides the convenience, we also wanted to provide a variety, a multidisciplinary Clinic. For one afternoon, we bring together up to 15 sub-specialty providers and therapists to provide a comprehensive evaluation for your child. There are only a handful of Rett Clinics in the US and people from all over the world are coming to this Clinic. For more info click here.
“The Rett Clinic was a well-oiled machine, where doctors, therapists, nutritionists, social workers and nurses gave suggestions on how to improve Tatum’s quality of life.”
If you cannot participate in one of our events, please consider giving a monetary contribution to support this cause.
Thank you to our supporters
