Weber River Trout

The Weber River at Coalville is currently running at a very fishable flow of 205 CFS, providing excellent conditions for targeting trout in this stretch. Anglers have reported success using a variety of late-summer patterns, with fish actively feeding along grassy banks and in deeper runs.

Effective flies include Caddis nymphs and dries (#14–#18), Pseudocloeon mayfly nymphs and dries (#20–#24), sow bugs, Hare's Ears, Pheasant Tails, and Copper Johns.
Terrestrial patterns such as ants, beetles, and grasshoppers are producing strikes, especially when fished close to the banks and in areas with overhanging vegetation.
Streamer fishing along the banks and through deeper holes is also moving fish, particularly during early morning and late evening low-light periods.
Recent angler activity suggests that fish are spread out, with productive spots including pockets, edges, and less-pressured banks.

Weather & Marine Conditions

Mid-September in the Coalville area brings moderate temperatures and stable river flows, with the Weber River maintaining normal levels for this time of year. Water temperatures can vary, so carrying a thermometer is recommended, especially as cooler nights begin to influence conditions. Anglers are advised to wade with caution, as flows remain strong enough to be challenging in certain sections.

Fishing Conditions & Tips

With terrestrial insects still abundant, late summer and early fall are prime times for prospecting with hopper, ant, and beetle patterns along the grassy banks. If insect hatches are sparse, switching to nymphs or streamers can be effective. Focus efforts during late morning through late afternoon for dry fly action, and target early morning or late evening for streamer fishing. Spreading out and fishing overlooked pockets and edges can help avoid crowded stretches and increase success.

Regulations & Notices

Anglers should be aware that kokanee salmon are entering their annual spawning season throughout Utah.
