South Fork Ogden River Huntsville fishing report
Updated November 7, 2026.
Causey Reservoir is releasing very little this time of year, and the gauge near Huntsville shows about 16 cfs. Fish are tucked into the deeper runs and bend pools.
Go small and slow. A Zebra Midge or small Pheasant Tail under a light indicator is the best bet, with a Parachute Adams for any midday risers.
