Weber River - January 24th, 2007
supplied by: Fishwest Outfitters
FISHING: Great
maps
The weber is still known to hold some very large browns, and one of the best ways to entice a strike from one of these monsters is with a streamer. Fish the same streamers as those listed for the Provo river. Remember there are a lot of browns still holding in the weber from the spawn, and they love streamers.
Dry flies:
Griffiths gnat: 16-22
Adult midge: 18-24
Parachute adams: 18-24
Nymphs:
Hares Ear (with or without a bead): 14-20 Pheasant tail (with or without a bead): 14-20 Prince nymph 14-18 Egg pattern: yellow, roe, pink, orange San Juan Worm: red, natural, orange, neon Zebra midge: red, black, gray, brown 16-22
Streamers:
Double Bunnies: white, olive, ginger, black Wolly buggers: Black, brown, white, ginger Clousers

Weber River - November 22nd, 2006
supplied by: Fishwest Outfitters
FISHING: Great
maps
The Weber is fishing well and the water flows are great. Some fish are in full-spawn and some nice fish are guilty of gorging themselves on other fish eggs. Target these fish below the redds, but leave the fish on the redds alone. They are busy making the fish of the future.
If there is a "best" time of year to throw streamers (we think it is always time to throw streamers), now is the time. The fish are territorial and aggressive. Not much dry fly activity here, but nymphing and chucking streamers will keep you busy.
Dry flies:
Midges: 18-22
BWO: 18-22
Nymphs:
Egg Patterns: 12-16
Hares ear: 14-20 bead and no bead Pheasant tail: 14-22 bead and no bead
Zebra midge: 14-18 red, brown, olive, grey
WD40: 16-22 red, brown, black, grey
Caddis pupae: 14-18 green, tan
Streamers:
The weber is know for having some large browns, and large browns are known for crushing streamers. Streamers may very well be worth your time.

Weber River - October 4th, 2006
supplied by: Fishwest Outfitters
FISHING: Great
maps
The Weber is still a little high and slightly stained, but fishing great. The Weber never really hit a low summer flow and at this point we don't expect it to. The fish are active and there are a lot of browns in the river, in addition to the hard fightin mighty whitefish.
There is not much surface activity, so nymphing is the rule. Don't focus soley on the slow, deep pools as there have been some really nice fish caught in the pocket water.
Dry flies:
Elk hair caddis: 14-18 tan, peacock
Adams: 16-20
Hoppers: 8-14
Ants: 16-20
Nymphs:
Hares ear: 14-20 bead and no bead Pheasant tail: 14-22 bead and no bead
Zebra midge: 14-18 red, brown, olive, grey
WD40: 16-22 red, brown, black, grey
Caddis pupae: 14-18 green, tan
Streamers:

Weber River - August 14th, 2006
supplied by: Fishwest Outfitters
FISHING: Great
maps
The Weber is still a little high, but clear and fishing great. The fish are active and there are a lot of browns in the river, in addition to the hard fightin mighty whitefish.
The area on the Weber to fish right now is the middle Weber between Echo and Rockport reservoirs. This stretch of river receives a fraction of the fishing pressure the Provo does, but can fish better than the Provo.
Dry flies:
Elk hair caddis: 14-18 tan, peacock
Adams: 16-20
Hoppers: 8-14
Ants: 16-20
Nymphs:
Hares ear: 14-20 bead and no bead Pheasant tail: 14-22 bead and no bead
Zebra midge: 14-18 red, brown, olive, grey
WD40: 16-22 red, brown, black, grey
Caddis pupae: 14-18 green, tan
Streamers:
The weber is know for having some large browns, and large browns are known for crushing streamers. Although this is not typically the time of year to fish streamers, if nothing else is working break out your streamers and give them a go. It may very well be worth your time.

Weber River - June 16th, 2006
supplied by: Fishwest Outfitters
FISHING: Great
maps
The Weber River is shaping up nicely as the flows are coming back down to normal. Some Green Drakes are coming off above Rockport. The stretch between the reservoirs is also fishing well with a variety of nymphs and there is a nice caddis hatch.
Dry flies:
Adult Midges: 18-22 (gray, olive and black)
Elk Hair Caddis: 12-18
Green Drakes: 10-12
Nymphs:
Stoneflies: 6-14 (black, golden and brown)
Cased Caddis and Buckskin Caddis: 14-16
BH Drake Nymph: 12-14
Streamers:
Can be great as a "hatch breaker" or between hatches. Many guys have dedicated days to streamer fishing and tend to come home with a smile on thier face.

Weber River - May 2nd, 2006
supplied by: Fishwest Outfitters
FISHING: Good
maps
What can we say about the Weber. The fishing was great this winter, but the water is up, way up. With the snow packs in the Uinta's, I could be awhile before the water comes down on the Weber. Once the water subsides, the fishing will pick up right where it left off. If you do venture out onto the Weber be very cautious. Wading at high water can be very dangerous. Some nice fish can still be had.
If you want to give it a go on the Weber, I would try the following flies.
Dry flies:
While it is unlikely to find rising fish at this flow, here are the bugs that they would be eating:
Adult Midges: 18-22 (gray, olive and black)
BWO's: 16-22
Parachute Adams: 16-22
Griffiths Gnat: 18-22
Caddis: 12-18
Nymphs:
Large nymphs, San Juan worms, Stoneflies, Glo bugs, large hares ears and pheasant tails may work.
Streamers:
At high water, streamers can be very effective flies. Wolley Buggers, Double Bunnies and Clousers are effective patterns. I would try them in white, black, olive and brown.

Weber River - January 17th, 2006
supplied by: Fishwest Outfitters
FISHING: Excellent
maps
There is no time like the winter time to fish the Weber. We have had some great fishing recently with some large trout and whitefish being taken. Fishing pressure is light, and the fish are eager. For the very best fishing, try and hit the Weber on an overcast or stormy day.
Please remember to respect private property. The State of Utah has worked for years with property owners to obtain public easements on private property. Recently some property owners have again posted their property with no trespassing signs. This is no doubt due to the general lack of respect many fisherman show for the property they are fishing on. Please, if you generate any trash or come across someone else's trash, pick it up and try to leave the river better than you found it. This will go a long way towards keeping this land accessible.
Don't plan on spending much time fishing dries. We rarely see any surface action this time of year. That is not to say it can not happen. You should be prepared for anything. The following is a list of flies you should make sure you have in your box, when you hit the Weber:
Look for the whitefish to be school up. If you are not getting into fish, move
onto the next run, every run is not going to hold fish. We have been finding trout in shollow, fast water. In addition to the traditional slower, deeper runs.
Dry flies:
-Adult midge: 18-24 (black, grey and olive)
-Griffiths gnat: 18-24
-Adams: 18-22
-BWO: 18-22
Nymphs:
-Hares ear: 14-18 (lighter colors with and without bead heads)
-Pheasant tail: 16-20 (bead head and flashback)
-Midge pupae: zebra midge, brassie, crystal midge (black, olive, red, grey)
-WD 40's: (red, grey, brown)
-San Juan worm: (red, natural)
-Glowbugs: (salmon, yellow, chartreuse)
-RS2: (grey, olive)
-Baetis nymph: (olive, grey)
Streamers:
This is the time of year big browns can be aggressive towards a streamer. Make sure you have your streamer box, and if nothing else is working, chuck a streamer. You just might feel the tug of a willing brown. White, Ginger, Black and Olive streamers are always worth a shot.

Weber River - December 2nd, 2005
supplied by: Fishwest Outfitters
FISHING: Great
maps
The Weber River is the quiet little brother of the Provo River. It has most of the same hatches and some really nice fish.
Browns and rainbows are being caught on egg patterns, small midges and mayfly nymphs. Try an egg pattern, with a small nymph as a trailer. Almost anything will work as long as it is an 18-20. The white fish are starting to pod up, so if you find a pod you can catch a mess of them.
Remember to respect private property on the Weber. The state has been working for years to obtain easements on this river, but there is plenty of water that is still not public access. While on the river, be respectful of the land owners and pack your trash out. We have LOST access to stretches because land owners are tired of the litter.
The Weber is the best option if you want to get away from the crowds yet still have a solid chance and a quality fish, close to Salt Lake. Don't let a few whitefish scare you away from one of the most consistent fisheries in the state.
Dry flies:
- Adult midges in (sizes: 18-28 colors: black, gray, olive)
- Griffiths Gnat
- Midge Adams
- Midge BWO
Nymphs:
- Hares ear 14-18
- Pheasant tail 16-20 (try it with or without a bead, if you go smaller try a flash back PT)
- Midge pupae, zebras, brassies, crystal midges (red, olive, brown, black)
- WD-40's (red, gray, brown)
- San Juan worm ( red, brown)
- Glo Bugs
- RS2's
Streamers:
- Break out the streamer box give them all a shot. Zonkers or Buggers are probably your best bet. Try black, brown, white or ginger.

Weber River - November 19th, 2005
supplied by: Four Seasons Flyfishers
FISHING: Good
The Weber River has had one of its best fall fishing seasons in a number of years. The browns, rainbows and whitefish are all trying to spawn. Small glo-bugs, streamers and flash-back nymphs are the way to go right now.
