Fishing Green Pond in Weber County, Utah

• Overview

  Look for Green Pond in the Weber County part of Utah. The surface lies 6,535 feet up. A pocket of water where every cast reaches cover. Our Weber County list holds plenty of bigger water. Mountain Green at 4.8 miles is the nearest place to stop. Salt Lake City sits 30 miles out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. Being near a boundary, it pays to know which side you are fishing.

• Where to Fish on Green Pond

  Depth here is unknown, so count the lead down before committing. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Records held for Weber County cover sockeye salmon, rainbow trout and brown trout. Protected fish appear in the records for this area, so treat the list as information, not an invitation. Green Pond repays a walk before the first cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July near 65°F and January near 24°F on the long-run figures. Expect a real winter and a strong spring after it. Ice fishing carries the winter, and the water opens about early April. Climate averages put the opening at about early April and the closing near early December. The shoulder weeks of the open season are the productive ones. Green Pond runs to that rhythm year in and year out.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. A car park lies half a mile away, so the walk in is short. Trout here take small spinners, spoons and, where fly water allows, a nymph or dry. Gates get locked out of season on water like this. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Pineview Reservoir sits 3.5 miles off and takes the overflow. Confirm before you fish Green Pond.
