We write the reports based on our daily experiences on the water and information received from customers. We update the reports as conditions change and our schedule permits.

Location
Weber River
Overview
The Weber still has water in it! The savvy fisherperson should check here first before heading out. We are overdue for them dropping to base winter flows. The fish do seem to be podded up in the deeper holes and below drop-offs. Nymphing and streamers are your best bet.

Location
Area Small Streams
Overview
Water temps are dropping across the board. That being said some small streams pretty tricky. With the PMD hatches and Hopper eats slowing down, most rivers can be productive with Caddis and small terrestrial patterns. Some small streams are starting to reach their winter flows and are becoming shallow.

Weber River
Overview
The Weber has been fishing good. Below Rockport flows are fluctuating between 180 CFS and 200 CFS. We are still seeing Caddis and PMD’s throughout the day. The hopper bite is slowing down significantly. Midges and sow bugs are good options if you head that way. Day to day, nymphing has been by far the more productive option.

Location
Middle Provo River
Overview
The Middle Provo out of Jordanelle Dam is flowing at 250 CFS, below the diversion on Old Highway 40, the river is flowing at about 150 CFS. The fishing has been good, but varies from day to day. While there is some dry fly opportunity, nymphing is the more productive option. We are seeing the end of the PMD’s and there are some BWO’s and Baetis starting to make an appearance. Caddis will still be on the menu for the next month or so.
