Fishing Reports

Weber River Fishing Report

Above Rockport, the Weber River is flowing at around 70 CFS. Water releases from Rockport Reservoir are at 28 CFS. By Coalville the flows are around 17 CFS. Below Echo the Weber is flowing at .93 CFS. The river is flowing at 149 CFS once it gets to Ogden. With the low flows along the Interstate 80 stretch, my recommendation is that if you are going to fish the Weber, fish it down by Mountain Green or above Rockport Reservoir.

If you are fishing the Weber, bring sow bugs (16-18), Caddis Larva (16-18), zebra midges (18), baetis (20-22), and some small streamers (olive, white, or black).

Brown trout are beginning to spawn. Please be mindful of spawning fish.

Southwest Wyoming Fishing Report

The colder temperatures that we have been seeing has made Southwestern Wyoming a much more fishable option again. However, the storms have brought a lot of wind and some snow with them. There is quite a bit of moss in the river, but not nearly as bad as it was this time last year. Flows below Fontenelle Reservoir are sitting around 1160 CFS.

As with the Green below Flaming Gorge, the terrestrial fishing is still decent 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, ginger, olive and copper, and black and peacock have been my go to colors up north.

The Kokanee run is in full swing and contrary to popular belief, the brown trout spawn earlier in Wyoming than they do down in Utah. Be mindful of spawning fish.

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 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.
