Get ready for "rock and roll" fly fishing with Colby Crossland of Spinner Fall Guide Service, as he takes you deep into the fast-evolving world of streamer fishing. If you've ever wanted to chase giant, predatory fish with big flies and aggressive tactics, this course is for you. Streamer fishing is one of the most dynamic and rapidly changing styles in fly fishing today, and Crossland breaks it all down—from essential gear to advanced presentations.

You'll explore how modern techniques have pushed this part of the sport into new territory. This is fishing on the move, throwing heavy flies, covering water, and hunting fish that want to crush your fly. Whether you're new to streamer fishing or looking to sharpen your skills with fresh tactics, Crossland delivers a fun, approachable, and info-packed guide to one of fly fishing’s most exciting methods.

In this video, Crossland delves into an often-overlooked aspect of fishing: The idea being an angler who is a critical thinker. The more anglers can learn from each day on the water, the quicker they can grow and improve.

Crossland is a veteran fly-fishing guide on Utah’s Green River, where he’s spent 15 seasons helping others experience the river’s magic. Raised near Salt Lake City, he taught himself to fly fish as a teenager and quickly found a deep connection to the water.
