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 a few more weeks. 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 one of the lesser known streams, try ants, hoppers, crickets, and beetles.

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.
