Fly fishing on the Weber River near Park City, Utah, famous ski resorts and the Wasatch Mountains.
Trophy Brown Trout in a Premier Utah River
Trophy Brown Trout
The Weber River offers anglers the chance to catch some truly trophy brown trout along with rainbows, some cutthroats, and even a few brook trout in the upper reaches. The Weber is essentially divided into three sections by two big reservoirs, much like the Provo and the Green. Although these sections don’t really have the established section names like the more famous Utah rivers. The section between Rockport Reservoir and Echo Reservoir holds some really big browns and fishes well almost year-round.
Sportfish or By-catch, You Decide
The Weber River shouldn’t be mentioned without also mentioning the prodigious population of Mountain Whitefish. Many anglers prefer to avoid these less-adorned, cylindrical cousins of the Arctic Grayling. While we certainly target the trophy trout of the Weber, we here at UFG are happy to catch a few Whitefish along the way. They are generally happy to take a nymph, fight reasonably well, and are actually a good indicator of river health. Besides their sporting qualities, juvenile Mountain Whitefish provide great forage for the big carnivorous brown trout that call the Weber home.
