Weber River Fishing Report

Water releases from Rockport Reservoir are at 175 CFS. By Coalville the flows are around 88 CFS. Below Echo the Weber is flowing at 137 CFS. The river is flowing at 79 CFS once it gets to Ogden. Throughout the I 80 corridor and I 84 canyon stretch to Mountain Green, the Weber is quite fishable right now.

While on the river expect to see small midges (20-24) early in the morning and some Baetis (20-22) , and caddis (16-18) activity as the day progresses. You will also see ants, beetles, and hoppers. Fish will be concentrated in the deeper runs as well as in the faster moving pocket water. The faster water is a great option for terrestrial fishing or fishing a dry dropper. The streamer fishing will also continue to pick up as we get deeper into Fall.

Utah Small Stream Fishing Report

The season for the high country is coming to a close so if you are trying to enjoy a day a a mountain lake or stream now is the time to get there. Even though we have seen our first snow in the high country, the Uintas, Boulder Mountains, and even the high country along the Wasatch Front should be good to fish for at least another month. The colder weather causes fish in lakes to cruise the shore lines to look for food, which makes bank fishing a great option with small streamers or dry flies. It is still terrestrial season in the high country as well, so if you are fishing a stream try ants, hoppers, crickets, and beetles.

Southwest Wyoming Fishing Report

The cooler temperatures that we have been having has made Southwestern Wyoming a much more fishable option again. However, the storms have brought a lot of wind with them. There is some moss being let loose in the water, but not nearly as bad as it was this time last year. Flows below Fontenelle Reservoir are sitting at 1160 CFS.

As with the Green below Flaming Gorge, the terrestrial fishing is still good with hoppers, ants, beetles, and crickets. You will see midge activity early in the morning and some Baetis and caddis activity later in the day. Streamer fishing has been heating up. White and gold, olive and copper, and black and peacock have been my go to colors up north as well.

The Kokanee run has begun and contrary to popular belief, the brown trout spawn earlier in Wyoming then they do down in Utah. Be mindful of spawning fish.

Southwest Wyoming Fishing Report

Flows below Fontenelle Reservoir are sitting at 1160 CFS. It is late August so water temps are an issue. Stay high and quickly handle and release fish if you are fishing up here. Like last year, moss is an issue in Southwest Wyoming.

Tricos are around early in the morning, there is still some PMD activity on the cloudy days, and caddis activity in the evenings. Terrestrial season is amongst us, especially on the hot and windy days. Fish ants, beetles, and hoppers in the riffles.
