Last week I went fishing on the upper Weber River near Kamas Utah. Generally I have not been very impressed with the Weber partly because I catch more whitefish than trout, or I can't keep fishing the river because of some private property fence extended across the river. However, last week was a different story for me. We started fishing in the evening and I caught a few fish up until dusk, but then the fun started! Once the sun ducked below the mountains the caddis started going crazy and in turn the fish responded. I put on a size 16 elk-hair caddis and within seconds started catching fish. The best fish I caught was a 16 inch rainbow trout that took flight 4 times before I could get it in. WOW! was I ever pleased. Not only was the fishing great, but during the entire time we fished we didn't see a single fisherman - unlike the provo (combat fishing at it's best, but not quite like the Beaverhead opener in Montana). Well this all being said, I am heading to the Weber again tomorrow and I can hardly wait!
