Water releases from Rockport Reservoir are at 121 CFS. By Coalville the flows are around 262 CFS. Below Echo the Weber is flowing at 193 CFS. Throughout the I 84 canyon the Weber picks up a lot more water and is flowing at about 943 CFS once it gets to Ogden. Snowpack in the Weber River Drainage is sitting at 1,975 percent of normal (runoff has not come close to peaking yet). Due to snowmelt the Upper and Lower Weber are kind of out of the picture for fishing, but it is game on between Wanship and Coalville.

The Mother’s Day Caddis have arrived. Look for rising fish, especially in the evenings. I like to present a size 16 or 18 Matthew’s X caddis to these fish. If fish aren’t rising on the Weber, they love sow bugs, especially the tailwater sow in a size 16 or 18. Don’t forget to cover the subsurface caddis activity with something like a size 18 birds nest, a smaller prince nymph, or some other caddis larva of your choice. You will still see some baetis activity, but that hatch has pretty much come to a close for the season. There is also some spring midge activity on the Weber. Fish will hone in on smaller gray and dark midges earlier in the day. I would cover that activity with a size 22 gray WD40, bling midge, or a smaller zebra midge. I have also heard of a few people throwing streamers on the Weber. The white or natural zonker has been the streamer of choice for those anglers.
