We are finally seeing decent flows on the Weber River. The Rockport to Echo stretch along I-80 is running a little high, but is very fishable. Be very mindful of where you are wading on the I-84 stretch of the Weber because flows are very high for this time of the year, especially from Mountain Green downstream to Ogden. Expect to see similar conditions to what you would find on the Provo. The most midge activity and therefore the best fishing will be during the warmest part of the day (11 AM - 5PM). Plan on having some sow bugs, midges, and some baetis patterns for nymphing. For dries, be prepared with a variety of your favorite midges. It’s still Winter so light tippet (at least 6X) and long leaders are keys to success, both dry fly and nymph eats are fairly subtle during this time of the year. With the higher flows, the streamer fishing could be decent. I like to fish non articulated streamers like zonkers and buggers on smaller rivers like the Weber. Try them in a variety of different colors. Think dark colors on dark days and bright colors on bright days and be prepared to cover water for success while streamer fishing.
