Fly Fishing Stream Conditions Report: Weber River

This year: Flow is around 132 CFS and the water is clear. Water temperature is running about 55 degrees F. This month's flow is slightly higher than last month's average of 84 CFS, and the water temperature is a bit cooler than last month's average of 57 degrees F. Rain is forecasted, so flows may rise in the next 48 hours. Always check conditions before heading out. Fishing should be good during hatch windows. With low, clear water, focus on deep slots and shaded areas. Use long, fine tippet, smaller flies, and approach slowly from downstream. Dry-dropper rigs are working well, pairing a buoyant dry with a trailing nymph about 12-18 inches below.

Prior years: Fishing quality has been good. On colder days, midges and smaller nymphs are your best bet. On warmer days, streamers and even dry flies will take trout. You might need to switch up your presentations throughout the day. As the snow melts, water levels and colors can change daily, so fish will move into slower flows. Artificial baits that create vibration work well in these conditions. Focus on nymphing with patterns like the Bead Body Sowbug or Scud. On warmer days, consider streamers or dry flies. Look for midges. Carp flies and Tricos are also active.
