I was just wondering what is good to use on the ogden river and weber river?
I am a new flyfisher and I need to know what to use.

Welcome to the sport and the forum! I assume your starting out dry fly fishing? I certainly would. Two good flies to start out with this time of year are the Elk Hair Caddis, and the Adams sizes 14-16. These two patterns with get you into fish on just about any river. You'll probably want a good hopper pattern too (Dave's or Joe's hopper) size 8-10.....

Here are the hatch charts for those 2 rivers:

and you can see some of the patterns listed on the charts here, you'll have to search for the rest:

don't forget to search the forum for ogden/weber rivers too - lots of good info over the years.

. . .and bring about $250.00 to tip him. He's an excellent fishing partner. Doesn't talk a lot. Just mumbles to himself; something like "Nothing wrong with quiet. Nothing wrong with quiet."

Welcome, this is the place and Steelie gave it to you right.

Ignor RAW, he couldn't fish his way out of a goldfish bowl.
