The Crystal River 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.

The River and its tributaries and lakes have Rainbow, Brook and Cutthroat Trout. Browns may be found close to the Roaring Fork especially during the fall spawn. The Crystal is a swift river and does not provide high quality aquatic habitat due to mining pollution. Therefore, the highest concentrations of fish can be found close to the Roaring Fork confluence and in the creeks which run into the river.
