Weber River Fishing Report

Current snowpack in the Weber River Drainage is sitting at 337 percent of normal.

Releases out of Rockport Reservoir are currently at 201 CFS.

River flows by Coalville are currently at 321 CFS.

Releases out of Echo Reservoir are currently at 450 CFS.

River flows by Mountain Green are at approximately 2,330 CFS.

The Rockport to Echo stretch along I-80 is running a little high, but is very fishable. As you get closer to Coalville the river begins to turn off color due to feeder streams. Flows below Echo Reservoir are quite high and become extremely high if not dangerous by the time you get to Mountain Green. Flows going into Rockport Reservoir are at flood stage.

If you are going to try to fish the Weber, I highly recommend fishing the stretch between Rockport and Echo Reservoirs along I-80. I haven’t heard of any recent reports, but the Mother’s Day Caddis should be going. Plan on having some sow bugs, San Juan worms, prince nymphs, and some other caddis larva with you. You might see some fish rising in the soft water. Have some peacock caddis or the x caddis to cover the risers. If you want to fish streamers, look for fish in the softer pockets.

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.
