As of May 1, the Governor of the State of Utah has moved from the State’s risk management from the High Risk Category of COVID-19 response to a Moderate Risk Category. There are still A LOT of restrictions in place, but we are allowed to move about a little bit more freely. More information can be found here: https://coronavirus-download.utah.gov/Health/Phased%20Health%20Guidelines%20V4.0.1.pdf

Certain areas are on a stricter lockdown than others and out of state travel is strongly discouraged.

Morgan, Weber, and Summit County have all moved to the same Moderate Risk Guidelines that the Governor has put into effect.

Spring is here and the days are much warmer than they have been.

Above Rockport Reservoir, the Weber is beginning to open up and flows are around 437 CFS, but be mindful that the daytime heat can cause snow to melt and the river to become cloudy with runoff as the day progresses. Water releases from Rockport Reservoir are at 25.1 CFS. By Coalville the river is flowing at 68.5 CFS. Unfortunately, the current release is a little low for quality angling. Below Echo Reservoir the Weber is flowing at 68.9 CFS. The river is flowing at 901 CFS along I 84 near Mountain Green and at 702 CFS once it gets to Ogden. These flows are a little high for quality angling. Current snowpack in the Weber River Drainage is sitting at 65 percent of normal.

Unfortunately, the current flows on the Weber are not ideal for angling. With that being said, Mother’s Day Caddis are right around the corner. Once flows are more ideal, be ready for some great fishing on the Weber.

If you are going to try and fish the Weber, bring sow bugs (16-18), zebra midges (18-22), other assorted midges (18-24), Baetis nymphs (18-20), caddis larva (16-18), and some small streamers like a Zonker or Sculpzilla in white, olive, or black.
