I have to agree with you on that one. The weber is probably one of the most bio-diverse rivers we have here in Utah.
I was there the other night and watched a couple of browns right up against a weed bank just grabbing anything that went by. I saw them take hoppers, caddis, and PMDs that were coming off. And I am sure they were feeding under the surface on emergers, and probably worms washing out of the mud as the weed bank had just collapsed a short time earlier.
The big browns in the Weber will have plent of other sources of forage besides the white fish. But I do miss going and catching 30 - 40 whitefish some evenings!! Lets face it a 16 inch whitey is still fun to fight too!!
