Fly Fishing the Weber River

Sandwiched between two reservoirs in the Wasatch foothills, the Weber's middle section is a surprisingly productive tailwater running cold and clear through open ranch country near Wanship and Coalville, where big brown trout hold in undercut banks and deep runs year-round. Its proximity to the Wasatch Front makes it Utah's most accessible quality trout fishery.
