Water releases from Rockport Reservoir are at 26.6 CFS and the river is frozen over by Coalville. Even along Interstate 84 most of the Weber has frozen over or is very low. We do not recommend fishing the Weber at these flows. The good news is that the Weber River Drainage is looking at 121 percent of normal snowpack so water flows should be great this summer.
Small Stream Fishing Report
The spawn is over, but the cold weather and cold water of early January always leads to some lethargic fish. At this point last month we had been having one of the best starts to winter that we have seen in a long time. The snow has slowed down a little bit, but things are still looking good for next summer with snowpacks around the state sitting between 80 to 100 percent. More snow is on the way this weekend. This is great news for next summer, but not so great for access to many of Utah’s smaller streams. Depending on where you are and if you can gain access to the river, fishing could be okay. As with the Provo River you will find some midge activity throughout January. Most of these streams have sow bugs or scuds in them as well. If you are trying to get after it, definitely focus on tailwater fisheries because most mountain streams are frozen over at this point in the year.
