Fishing

When I got up this morning it was still dark and too early to go fishing where I had planned. So I sat down and watched last nights episode of Roughn-it Outdoors. Adam was fishing the Weber right where it dumps into Echo. I said what the heck and headed up there. I got there before the sun and started catching with the first cast. I was alone until the sun came over the hill. Then everyone else started showing up. When I left I counted 18 vehicles parked along side mine. It seemed like everyone was fly fishing and catching fish. I didn't see anyone keep a fish except me. I kept one out of the 22 that I caught. I ate it for lunch today ( very tasty).

I've never fished there. where's the parking spot? come down from echo dam road?

It's on the east side just north of Coalville. Small gravel area with an opening in the fence. Just walk across the mud flats to the river.

We were there Sunday afternoon for about three hours. Caught about 25 to 30 fish...I think. We stopped counting. We started keeping until we caught our limits and went home for a tasty fish fry! YUM

What do you guys suggest using right now on the Weber. I am heading up there tomorrow, but a little different area. Any suggestions on flies?

I used a brown bh leach, and zonkers in yellow and pink and even a glo bug. The guy next to me was using a prince nymph and the guy next to him was using a woolly bugger. I don't know what everyone else was using. I don't think that is mattered a whole lot. Just had to get it down on the bottom.

I fished there this morning.
It was cold enough to freeze the guides for the first 2 hours.
Fishing is still good.
I was fishing Woolly Buggers with sinking line.
The bite shut down by 11:00 this morning.
I don't know how much longer it will fish this well, so get up there soon.

is it below (north) of the res that is fishing so well?

No, its right where the Weber dumps into Echo on the South (Coalville) end. I fished it again this morning but it was a lot slower that last week. I hardly caught any after the sun came over the hill.

Nice report sounds like a fun time.

headed up and fished this morning. pretty fast from about 7-8...fished with my buddy and they were taking pretty much anything put in front of them. sun hit the water square and it nearly halted the bite. great size eaters though!
