Weber River Sow bugs

The Weber River is full of sow bugs and large trout. No kidding! Brad, Phil, and I fished the canyon section just above Ogden early Saturday morning, and the bite was on. Almost every fish was caught on sow bug patterns, and despite the warm spring day there were very few fish rising.

On most rivers that have cutts and browns I automatically assume the big fish to all be browns or the odd white fish. Man was I wrong today! This giant cutt ate a sow bug just minutes after the big brown pictured below had taken one. Both were caught in the same riffle.
You can tell this fish had a long winter... skinny but a fighter!
