208 Main St., Carbondale, Colorado. Phone: 970-963-5741

We are a full service Carbondale fly shop and Colorado outfitter offering guided fly fishing trips on the Roaring Fork, Frying Pan, Colorado and Crystal Rivers near Aspen, Basalt, Carbondale, and Glenwood Springs. We're only a few minutes away from some of the most renowned streams in Colorado Fly Fishing.

CLICK HERE TO VISIT THE ONLINE SHOP.  Summer hours:  8:30 AM to 5:30 PM daily--often later into the evening as well.  We are available for guide trips daily.

WHAT'S NEW: Even more new gear for 2010 from lots of great companies--including our newest additions--rods and reels from Hardy and Greys.  We are trying to get everything listed in our online shop as quickly as we can.  Stop in or call for our latest additions.  We have added more shop fixtures, and in spite of the economy, we are still growing.

The hot dry fly fishing of our summer season has really kicked in--runoff is ending and clarity conditions are great!  The end of spring runoff is always one of the best times of the year to float or wade because fish are hungry and hatches really start to take off as the water begins warming for the summer.  Book your trip now!

OUR SPECIAL ALL-INCLUSIVE LODGING & FISHING PACKAGE PRICING WITH CRYSTAL FLY SHOP AND THE REDSTONE INN  IS THE BEST DEAL ON A QUALITY EXPERIENCE IN THE VALLEY!  The historic Redstone Inn is a beautiful and affordable place to stay--we've always recommended to our clients to stay up the Crystal where you're actually out in the mountains instead of in a town.  We have partnered up with the Inn to offer discounted all inclusive pricing for guests who want to fish with us either at the fabulous Preserve private property operated by the Redstone Inn, Bar ZX private ranch over McClure Pass, or who want to float or wade fish the Roaring Fork, Frying Pan, or Colorado (stay a few nights and fish them all!).  More details on the Lodging page.  Contact the Redstone Inn at 1-800-748-2524 to discuss rates for various rooms and dates, and give us a call to talk about the fishing side of things.
