About the Weber
The Weber River drains the north slope of the Uinta Mountains and flows through Oakley, Peoa, Rockport, Wanship and Coalville before heading toward Ogden. It is a short drive from Park City and Salt Lake City. Below Rockport Reservoir it behaves like a tailwater and fishes through the year.
The upper Weber above Rockport runs through a lot of private land. The middle river from Rockport down to Echo has a mix of public and private water. Below Echo the lower river is less of a fly fishing destination.
The river holds rainbow trout, brook trout, cutthroat, Bonneville cutthroat and tiger trout, along with carp. It is known as a blue ribbon river with high trout numbers.
Pale morning duns, caddis, midges and blue-winged olives give steady hatches in summer and winter. Hoppers and terrestrials matter in late summer.
Most of the access comes from Utah Division of Wildlife Resources walk-in access areas. Respect private land and check the current DWR rules and access maps before you go.

Tips for fishing the Weber
-
Know where you can stand
A lot of this river is private. Use DWR walk-in access areas and public points, and stay inside the posted boundaries.
-
Fish it in winter too
The tailwater stays fishable through cold months. Midges and blue-winged olives are your main bugs then.
-
Match the hatch size
Fish see plenty of anglers. Small, natural flies with a good drift usually do better than big attractors.
-
Check the gauges
Flows at Oakley, Coalville and Gateway tell you a lot. Look before you go and pick your stretch from there.
-
Be early on weekends
The river is close to the Wasatch Front. Early starts help you find a quiet run.
