Decided to fish the Weber today for the first time ever for a few hours after work. Went to the area just downstream of Coalville. A little midge hatch was coming off but very little insect activity. A few fish managed to rise to what was hatching. I ended up catching 5 fish, and losing almost as many. I caught 3 browns from minnow size up to about 12 or 13 inches. Also managed one rainbow about 13 inches and a whitefish about 14 inches. 4 fish fell to a sz 18 or 20 flashback PT nymph and one took a sz 16 or 18 beadhead hares ear.
Saw a moose on I-80 near the golfcourse on the way up...pretty cool! Also saw some guys bowfishing where the Weber flows out of Echo. I could see carp rolling as well. Might be worth a go for you stick-flingers!!!!
