Southwest Wyoming Fishing Report

The cold, snow, and wind have returned to Southwestern Wyoming. If you are going to head here, dress warm. There is still a little bit of moss in the river, but not enough to be of much concern. Flows below Fontenelle Reservoir are currently around 901 CFS. Snowpack in the Upper Green River drainage is currently sitting at 106 percent of average and 143 percent in the Lower Green River drainage.

It is winter time so think scuds and midges. Streamer fishing has been decent. White and gold, ginger, olive and copper, and black and peacock have been my go to colors up north.

Some brown trout are still spawning. Please be mindful of spawning fish and their redds.

Weber River Fishing Report

Above Rockport, the Weber River is flowing at around 80 CFS. Water releases from Rockport Reservoir are at 25.1 CFS. By Coalville the flows are around 51.7 CFS. Below Echo the Weber is flowing at .93 CFS. The river is flowing at 98 CFS along I 84 and at 258 CFS once it gets to Ogden. Current snowpack in the Weber River Drainage is sitting at 147 percent of normal. 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), zebra midges (18), other small assorted midges (20-22), and some small streamers (olive, white, or black).

Small Stream Fishing Report

Winter has made its way into Utah and most of our high elevation lakes have started to ice over. Access to a lot of our smaller streams is also becoming limited do to snow. There are some areas in Central Utah and Southern Utah that are available to fish, but again access is limited, it is Winter. Look for tailwater fisheries with paved access if you are thinking of venturing out. We have had one of the snowiest early Decembers that I have ever seen and snowpacks around the state are sitting well about average.

Southwest Wyoming Fishing Report

The cold, snow, and wind have returned to Southwestern Wyoming. If you are going to head here, dress warm. There is still 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 currently around 984 CFS.

The terrestrial activity has become non existent, but you will see midge activity early in the morning and a good amount of Baetis 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.
