 Park City, Utah High Water Blues: Spring Fishing On The Ogden And Weber Rivers
Posted by skitch976 on Monday, May 01 @ 09:56:53 PDT
I live in Ogden, Utah and have the high water blues. Both the Ogden and Weber rivers are high, swift and murky and I am dying to fish. Runoff is horrible and I don't know how long I am going to have to wait to get some decent fishing in. I have gone south and north and still have been left wanting. Should I take a stab at the high rivers? If so, how should I approach them? What is my best option here? I need help!

Water that held fish in normal conditions may not in high water. Similarly, water that did not hold fish may now be stacked. Read the water as you would a new river and fish what looks good. Soft water along brush and cut banks may stack up fish. Streamers and bright egg patterns are always a safe bet. Remember, even in high water the fish need to eat! |

Look for fish holding in side channels, eddies, and current seams. The fish are not going to be tippet shy so use heavier than normal tippet so you can still play the fish in the higher water when you hook up.
Many of our northern Utah rivers are tailwaters so unless they are really blowing them out, the clarity stays good so there is no reason to fish giant stones and such. Fish a little larger baetis nymphs and midges, as well as various san juam worms, small, eggs, end especially sow bugs and scuds which are being dislodged at that time.
And if all else fails warm weather means killer carp fishing on the lakes! |
