: Crystal River - The Crystal River has been flowing at 45 cfs in Carbondale. Fishing has picked back up again as the entire river has been fishing well due to the cooler weather. The aspens and surrounding foliage are in peak colors and makes for drop dead gorgeous scenery. The whitefish and brown trout are beginning their spawning rituals thus the fish are feeding extremely hard. Top flies include: Tungsten Princes, Tungsten PT's, STD's, BLM's, Tungsten Bead Baetis, Zebra Midges and Flashtail Hot Eggs. The cutthroat and brookie fishing is exceptional above the town of Marble, while rainbows, browns and whitefish inhabit the river below Redstone. Fishing pressure is virtually nonexistent as an added bonus! Reported by: Colorado D.O.W |

| About: -
Crystal River - The Crystal river offers a
spectacular setting as it flows down the Crystal Valley and enters the
Roaring
Fork in Carbondale. From its reaches, the river winds down the valley offering
easy access, eager trout and mountain whitefish. It harbors good numbers of
rainbows and browns with the occasional cutthroat or brookie, and can be fished
all year in the lower reaches. Bang the banks with terrestrials in September and
switch to Blue Winged Olives in October and November.
