Sawyer Ambassador
Colby Crossland
Fly-fishing guide, oarsman, and Green River ambassador.
Colby D. Crossland is a professional fly-fishing guide for Spinnerfall Outfitters on Utah’s Green River. He has guided from Dutch John since 2011 and is known for his patient style, river knowledge, and commitment to helping anglers and oarsmen build confidence on the water.
Meet Colby
Colby Crossland spends the warmer months guiding fly anglers on the Green River out of Dutch John, Utah. Since 2011, he has built his guide style around patience, kindness, and a strong desire to help people become better anglers and oarsmen.
When the season cools down, Colby splits time between Salt Lake City, the Southwest deserts, Mexico, and Central America. His life on the water reflects a deep respect for rivers, clean places, and the communities that depend on them.
Colby’s favorite Sawyer setup is the SMOKER DyneLite Oar 9'6" with Shoal Cut Blade. He values the flex, durability, and dependable feel for long guide days and technical rowing.
“Lots of flex, and they do not break.”
