Weber River Below Rockport Reservoir fishing report
Updated November 7, 2026.
Irrigation season is over and Rockport is down to its winter release. The Wanship gauge is in the mid-20s cfs, which leaves fish packed into the few deep holes.
Local shops are giving this stretch a rest until flows come back up, and so are we. Browns are spawning now, so please stay off the gravel and try the upper Weber near Oakley instead.
