Water releases from Rockport Reservoir are still at 25.1 CFS. By Coalville the flows are around 65 CFS. Below Echo the Weber is flowing at 1.75 CFS. Throughout the I 84 canyon the Weber picks up more water and is flowing at about 125 CFS once it gets to Ogden. Eventually these flows will ramp up since the Weber drainage is sitting at 133 percent of normal snowpack.

I like to give the fish a rest when the flows are this low, but that’s just me. If you are fishing trying to fish the Weber this time of the year, you will find the fish heavily concentrated in the deeper runs. They love sow bugs, especially the tailwater sow in a size 16 or 18. You will see some baetis activity, but not nearly as much as you will find on the Provo. Usually a purple or natural juju baetis in a size 18 will do the trick. There is also some spring midge activity on the Weber. Again not nearly as much as on the Provo, but fish will hone in on smaller gray midges earlier in the day. I would cover that activity with a size 22 gray WD40. I have heard of a few people throwing streamers on the Weber. The white or natural zonker as been the streamer of choice for those anglers.

Any day now the flows will begin to ramp up. Spring is in the air. Look for caddis activity to start heating up in the coming weeks.
