CLICK HERE TO VISIT THE ONLINE SHOP. Lots of new items have shown up for 2009 and we're adding them as fast as we can. Stop by to check them out, or give us a call if you have questions. We're here every day from 9:00 (often earlier) until at least 5:00 (often later), unless our shop staff is booked on a trip or teaching a clinic. WHAT'S NEW: Lot's--where do we start? Tons of new gear this year from lots of great companies--see below. We have added new shop fixtures, and in spite of the economy, we are still growing. SPECIAL ALL-INCLUSIVE LODGING & FISHING PACKAGE PRICING WITH CRYSTAL FLY SHOP AND THE REDSTONE INN. The historic Redstone Inn is a beautiful and affordable place to stay--we've always recommended 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.	Crystal Fly Shop is at 208 Main St. in downtown Carbondale, Colorado--the corner of 2nd and Main, across from popular Russet's Restaurant.
