Fishing Forum

Had a few hours to kill after work last Tuesday, so decided to take advantage since I was already in the area.  I haven’t broke out the fly rod in awhile, so decided to give it a whirl.  Fished a couple hours right below Rockport and got a big, fat goose egg.  No hits, no bumps, no takes…nothing.  Decided to move down a bit and fished a stretch between RP and Echo.  Same results.  A couple hours later and after fishing several nice looking holes, not much to show for it.  I did have one potential fish on, but it came off quick.  There was a caddis looking hatch toward evening, but no fish rising.  I mainly fished a tandem Provo bounce rig.  Prince nymph, sow bugs, hares ear, WD 40s…they didn’t want any of it.  It was a beautiful afternoon/evening though and had a good time on the water.

Good thing we’re headed to the Greys in a week.  I know how to catch fish on that river!

You are not alone in struggles on the Weber. Had similar reports from some friends. I did hear of some action early morning some small rapalas

The Middle Weber can prove to be a very finicky fishery. Sorry you did not have more luck. The Rainbow Sow Bug has been the best fly for me on that stretch of river.

The Weber can definitely give and take. Always the possibility of a great day and some big brownies! Good luck next time!
