Notes from the landowner

Enjoy 1 mile of river frontage along the Crystal River in Redstone, Colorado located in the picturesque Elk Mountains. Crystal River is one of the last of the “freestone” rivers in Colorado and provides a very natural fishing experience.

The clear and pristine Crystal River flows into the Roaring Fork River. This property is located above Coal Creek (Coal Creek is the prime contributor to the Crystal River being blown out or off-color) so you should find clear and pristine waters at this property. The Crystal River through the property consists of one channel at the top and bottom. With the middle section braiding out. There have been structure improvements throughout the property. Brown and rainbow trout are the most common species of fish, but you could encounter brook trout and cutthroat trout as well. Spring and early summer are the best time for hatches and as the weather warms up you can expect terrestrials such as grasshoppers and beetles to become abundant. The bank closest to Hwy 133 is easily accessible for most if not all waders. The opposite back is steeper and more difficult to access for someone that may not be sure-footed. The river is crossable most times of the year throughout the property. The downstream boundary is clearly designated by the bridge that crosses over the river into RedStone.

You will be checking in at the Historic Redstone Inn, the property covers almost a mile and a half up to the Redstone Castle. The Historic Redstone Inn has a full restaurant and bar that you are more than welcome to enjoy. So feel free to grab lunch or enjoy a beverage after your day of fishing! Anglers are limited to 4 on the river even from the Inn, so you will get to enjoy a peaceful day on the river.

Redstone, Colorado has been transformed into a charming mountain community with a focus on tourism. You can bring the whole family along to hike, explore, shop, and learn the history of this historic town’s mining past.

Although we typically get your booking approved within a few hours, please allow up to 1 business day for booking confirmations.

Dogs and other pets are NOT permitted on this property. Lodging is available through the Redstone Inn.

For properties listed as "Community Adventures" there is the possibility that a limited number of other anglers can be on the property at the same time. Just a heads up, some of our spots have other leases that might have anglers casting their lines too. So, hit 'request to book' and we'll make sure to confirm the availability before you pack your gear!
We think it's important to mentor the next generation of anglers. Youth between the ages of 13 and 17 are 50% off for all fishing and small game when you reserve on the Infinite Outdoors app. However, kids 13-17 will need to have an Infinite Outdoors Membership. Youth 12 and under are free and do not need a membership but must follow all property rules.
No, most of our property listings are available to Infinite Outdoors Members without a pass. If you plan on fishing on a regular basis talk to our support team and see if a pass might make sense.
Not all properties have signs, so be sure to check the property boundaries and information in the Infinite Outdoors app.
Access your adventure on the IO app before heading out the door, all the information and maps will be on the app so you don't need service to navigate your adventure. Also all property maps will download offline onto your app so you can always see where you are on the property, even without service.
We can't guarantee you'll catch fish every time—fishing always comes with a bit of unpredictability due to factors like weather and fish behavior. However, we do everything we can to boost your chances! We offer information on local fly shops so you can get the best tips and gear recommendations. As for the size of the fish, it really depends on where you're fishing. We aim to connect you with spots where you have a good shot at landing some great catches, but it's all part of the Do-It-Yourself fly fishing adventure!
Download and use the Infinite Outdoors app for directions to the property, boundary lines, access points, and more. These maps can be found in the adventure layer on the app home screen or in your list of adventures under the "Adventures" tab.
Adventures must be cancelled 48 hours or more prior to the trip. Any cancellations made within 48 hours will result in partial or full charges.
Yes, each active angler on the property must be an active Infinite Outdoors member and must be invited, and accepted, to the adventure through the platform.
Non anglers require prior approval. Once approved they must still be IO members but may be subject to reduced price or free outdoorsman fee. If this applies to you, please reach out to IO.
Your downloaded adventure and map in the IO app is your proof of booking. Be prepared to present it upon request.
Unavailable dates may be due to properties already being booked to capacity, landowners have not yet made dates available, or we are resting the property for conservation purposes. Feel free to contact an Infinite Outdoors member or support team if this issue arises.
