I fished the middle Weber just above Echo Res last Saturday. I caught around a million planter bows, and not a single brown. I am still yet to hook a nice brown on the weber. I continue to fish the Provo bc I don’t have the same success on the Weber as I do the Provo. I must be doing it all wrong. I mean, it was still a fun day and beautiful weather but you can only catch so many planter trout before you long even more for the wild brownies.
As the day was ending I did stop on the lower part of the Weber and found a few Redds with fishing on them. I only got a few fish to look at my orange glow bug but none willing to commit. Probably deserves me right for even targeting those fish. The Weber continues to frustrate me
I was on the lower weber last weekend,water levels are pretty low, generally just bouncing a scud or a prince nymph produces a number of browns. Hopefully we get a wet winter to bring water levels up but I would think if you’re catching bows, browns shouldn’t be much different.
Bead head prince, Black AP nymph, Sow Bugs all are good. Key is get them deep, keep them deep. Should be hooking the bottom & the occasional whitefish to show you are in the zone.
If you want to catch a some big browns on the weber, PM me, I’ll take you streamer fishing one morning. You can read about streamer fishing the Weber on my website www.elevatedangling.com
I went out yesterday. I went to where I found the reds at the end of the day last week. I decided to leave the fish alone that were on their reds and instead I focused on the deep pools directly beneath the reds. I caught a mess of browns in the 10-14" range but nothing note or photo worthy. Still a fun day! I hooked a couple that might’ve pushed 16" but I didn’t land them. I definitely saw fish on reds that easily would’ve breached the 20" mark.
