gen-class really isn't suitable for doing complicated interop like annotating fields. It's heavily oriented towards a single means of managing state, which is a single field generally containing an atom, which in turn contains your actual state in a map or similar. If you really need multiple fields you can use deftype/defrecord, but they come with different restrictions - no inheritance, don't require their namespace on class init which is required for many use cases where you might want field annotations. I'm also not sure if their fields can be annotated.
In general when you start needing that level of interop, the easiest thing is just to write a Java class and call into Clojure from there as required.
