In this episode we WadeOutThere for Part One of our conversation with Colby Crossland, from Dutch John, Utah.  Colby grew up fishing with his grandfather in Utah’s Uintah Basin.  After being gifted a fly rod and vise, Colby took his love of fishing on the road, exploring the small streams in Northern Utah and Southern Idaho through high school and college, where he studied photography. 

A combination of having no photo shoots and an invitation to stay with a friend, led Colby to Dutch John, Utah where he learned to row a drift boat, run shuttles, and fly fished for two summers before being offered a job guiding at Spinner Fall Guide Service, where he has been guiding now for over fourteen years. 

We discuss techniques for success and ways to progress on the oars of a drift boat, and dry fly tactics on the Green River.
