March is here and the days are much warmer than they have been. This has been making the fish a whole lot happier. Above Rockport Reservoir, the Weber is beginning to open up, but the daytime heat is causing snow to melt and the river to become cloudy with runoff throughout the day. Water releases from Rockport Reservoir are at 66.4 CFS. By Coalville the river is flowing at 100 CFS. Below Echo Reservoir the Weber is flowing at .99 CFS. The river is flowing at 86.9 CFS along I 84 near Mountain Green and at 111 CFS once it gets to Ogden. Current snowpack in the Weber River Drainage is sitting at 97 percent of normal.

Flows along the Weber River are still low, but at the most fishable level that we have seen in quite some time making it a viable option to sneak away from the crowds on the Provo River. You might not see a midge hatch as thick as you can find elsewhere, but you will find a lot more solitude.

If you are fishing the Weber, bring sow bugs (16-18), zebra midges (18-22), other assorted midges (20-26), caddis larva (16-18) and some small streamers like a Zonker or Sculpzilla in white, olive, or black.
