Fish numbers are very good in the river right now. Caddisflies and stimulators work well in the reaches below Echo Reservoir. Caddises and Royal Wulffs are proven presentations in the Blue Ribbon reach between Rockport and Echo reservoirs. Hopper patterns fished along shorelines can produce vicious strikes from all trout species. A small dropper off the hopper can take fish that refuse to take the hopper. Standard nymph patterns can still be very effective during daylight hours. Sows, zebra midges, chironomids, hare’s ears and pheasant tails are all good choices. Those using spinning gear can do best using crankbaits that resemble young trout. Curly tail jigs in various colors are another good option for those using spinning gear. Spinners in size 4 are usually very successful at targeting trout in the Blue Ribbon reach and along the rest of the Weber.
