I would like to introduce my 14 year old grand kids to river fly fishing, I don't know if the river is still high, they have never waded the river to fish. I'm thinking about going on the weber in the Morgan area, can someone help me out with some information?
Maybe some hints to the good flies that will be good now?
I have been in my boat so long i have not been in the river in years.
thanks

Go to the golf course in morgan. They will let you go down to the river and fish. Loads of white fish and browns. Pheasant tails hairs ears work great. If the water is a little off color san jaun worm or anything black.

I was disappointed no one could give me any first hand info, about the Weber river, so I made a visit today in the Morgan area.
Went to the "Walk In" access near Morgan.
The river was still a little High, and still somewhat muddy, Could be the recent rain, but fish-able. The land owner was very friendly and helpful. There has been no cattle grazing so the grass was high making bank access hard. Hooked three fish but could not land them, water was fast and access to water is a little hard, fish were very shy.. All three were hooked using an 1/8 oz jig with a 2" power minnow. My grand daughter had fun and we did something I hadn't done for lots of years. She has never fished a river, but good experience for her.
Give the river another month and water will be down low. Couldn't get any taker on the three flies I tried.
