Weber River Fishing Report – August 2025
The Weber River is fishing very well right now, with strong trout activity and excellent late-summer conditions. Flows are holding around 200 CFS in the middle section from Rockport to Echo, and 400–480 CFS below Echo toward Morgan. Anglers are finding healthy numbers of brown trout, rainbow trout, brook trout, and Bonneville cutthroat trout (catch-and-release only). Water temperatures are around 60°F, providing ideal conditions for both fly fishing and spin fishing.
Early mornings and evenings are producing strong dry fly action with caddis, Pale Morning Duns, parachute hoppers, and PMX patterns along grassy banks. Midday fishing is best with nymphs such as Copper Johns, Hare’s Ear, Rainbow Warriors, sow bugs, and pheasant tails. For those fishing deeper runs, woolly buggers, Zonkers, and other streamers fished low and slow are bringing in big fish. Terrestrials like ants, beetles, and hoppers are also getting plenty of strikes near the banks.
Whether you’re fishing the Middle Weber near Coalville or the faster, pushier lower stretches toward Morgan, the bite is on and fish are feeding aggressively. This is one of the best times of the year to hit the Weber River, so grab your fly rod or spinning gear and take advantage of the prime conditions. Wading is good in most sections, but use caution in stronger currents.
Ogden River Fishing Report – August 2025
The Ogden River is fishing great this week, offering prime late-summer conditions for both fly anglers and spin fishers. Flows are steady, water clarity is good, and fish activity is high—perfect for a day chasing brown trout, rainbow trout, Bonneville cutthroat trout, and mountain whitefish. This Blue-Ribbon stream runs from Huntsville through Ogden Canyon and into the city, giving anglers plenty of easy-access spots to fish.
Right now, mornings and evenings are best for dry fly fishing with hoppers, stimulators, and caddis patterns. Midday success comes from nymphing with bead-head Hare’s Ear, Copper Johns, and pheasant tails, or fishing small spinners and spoons for spin anglers. The river’s shallow runs—rarely more than four feet deep—make it perfect for wading, but watch your footing on mossy rocks. For bait anglers, salmon eggs, nightcrawlers, waxworms, and mealworms are all working well.
If you’re planning a trip to the Ogden River, this is one of the best weeks of the season to get out. Whether you’re fishing the South Fork, the canyon stretches, or the city section, the trout are hungry and the bite is on. Just remember to clean and dry your gear to help prevent the spread of whirling disease.
Pineview Reservoir Fishing Report – August 2025
The Pineview Reservoir is fishing great this week, offering some of the best late-summer conditions for Utah bass fishing and panfish action. Water temperatures are holding in the mid-70s°F, and fish are feeding aggressively in shallow to mid-depth areas. Anglers are catching healthy numbers of largemouth bass and smallmouth bass along rocky points, submerged structure, and weed lines. Soft plastics, spinnerbaits, and suspending crankbaits are working especially well during early mornings and evenings.
Black crappie fishing at Pineview is also strong right now, with fish schooling near docks, brush piles, and weed edges. A small jig tipped with a worm, fished under a bobber, is producing steady action. Yellow perch are less abundant than in past years but can still be caught using nightcrawlers or small jigs near sandy flats and the edges of vegetation.
Whether you’re fishing from a boat, kayak, or the shoreline, Pineview is providing plenty of opportunities for both casual anglers and those chasing trophy fish. Early morning and late evening remain the best times to fish, especially with topwater lures for bass. If you’re looking for a Pineview Reservoir fishing report you can trust, now’s the time to grab your gear and enjoy one of Northern Utah’s favorite fisheries while conditions are at their peak.
Echo Reservoir Fishing Report – August 2025
The Echo Reservoir is fishing great this week and is a top choice among Utah anglers for its diverse fishery and easy access. Rainbow trout action is solid, with fish moving deeper as water temperatures warm—making trolling spoons, PowerBait, and spinners productive from both shore and boat.
In the summer heat, smallmouth bass are the main attraction, holding tight to rocky points and submerged structure. Soft plastics, crankbaits, dropshot rigs, and spinnerbaits are producing consistent bites. Wipers are also active, and when they’re schooling, swimbaits, jerkbaits, and topwater lures are delivering exciting action.
Yellow perch fishing remains steady and is a great option for families or beginner anglers. Small jigs tipped with worms, fished along the edges of weed beds or drop-offs, are bringing in good numbers.
With excellent amenities, boat launches, and camping at Echo State Park, this reservoir continues to be one of Northern Utah’s most reliable fishing spots. Whether you’re targeting trout, bass, wipers, or perch, the current Echo Reservoir fishing conditions make this a prime time to get on the water.
