  • Fishing Around Salt Lake City on November 3, 2024 - Weather, Trout Hotspots, and Tackle Recommendations
    2024/11/03
    For those looking to cast a line around Salt Lake City today, November 3, 2024, here’s what you need to know.

    First off, since we're inland, there's no tidal report to worry about, but the weather is crisp with a high of around 58 degrees and a low of 38 degrees. Sunrise was at 7:43 AM, and sunset will be at 5:04 PM, giving you a good window to get out on the water.

    If you're heading to the Provo River, conditions are very good. The stream is flowing near normal levels and the water is clear, with an afternoon temperature of about 60 degrees.

    Yesterday, anglers on the Provo River had a great day catching brown trout, with some rainbows and cutthroats mixed in. The river is known for its dense trout population, with up to 3000 trout per mile in some sections. For the Provo River, recommended lures include Brown Sculpin, White Belly Sculpin, and Articulated streamers. Dry flies like Blue-winged Olives and nymphs such as Scuds/sowbugs are also effective.

    Another hot spot is Bountiful Pond in Davis County. Recently, this pond has seen significant fish stocking, including 2501 Rainbow trout on October 8 and another 2000 on September 23. Channel Catfish were also stocked here in September. For Bountiful Pond, using bait like nightcrawlers or small jigs can be very effective for catching both trout and catfish.

    In general, fall is an excellent time to fish in Utah, especially with the brown trout spawn underway. So grab your gear, and whether you're wading the Provo River or casting a line at Bountiful Pond, you're in for a great day of fishing. Just remember to check the current regulations and any specific rules for the waters you're fishing.

    First off, let's talk about the timing. Sunrise is at 7:41 AM, and sunset will be at 6:45 PM. Since we're not dealing with tidal waters here, we focus more on the moon phases and daylight hours. Today, the moon is in its Waning Gibbous phase, which can make for some active fishing during daylight hours.

    The weather is crisp, with a hint of winter in the air, making it a perfect time to catch some fish. Fish activity has been moderate, especially during the early morning and late evening hours when the water is usually calmer.

    Yesterday, anglers reported catching a variety of fish, including rainbow trout, channel catfish, and some largemouth bass. For rainbow trout, the best spots have been around the Provo River Delta, which has seen a recent restoration and is now open to the public, and the various canals and ponds in the area such as the Brighton Canal and Decker Lake.

    For lures, spinners and small spoons have been working well for trout. If you're after catfish, nightcrawlers and chicken livers are your best bet. For bass, soft plastics and crankbaits have been effective.

    If you're looking for some hot spots, consider the George S Eccles 2002 Legacy Bridge area and the Black Bridge, both of which are known for their productive fishing. The Provo River Delta Project is also a great place to try your luck, given its recent restoration and the natural habitat it provides.

    Remember to check the local fishing regulations, especially with the statewide kokanee salmon closure in effect from September 10 through November 30. Enjoy your day on the water

    At Cove Pond, several batches of rainbow trout and tiger trout were recently stocked. The latest stocking included 750 rainbow trout on September 10 and 256 tiger trout on June 4. For targeting trout, using small jigs, spinners, or bait like powerbait and nightcrawlers has been effective. Tiger trout have been biting well on lures such as small spoons and flies.

  • Fall Fishing in Salt Lake City: Trout, Catfish, and More on the Menu
    2024/10/25
    For anglers in the Salt Lake City area today, October 25, 2024, here’s what you can expect: The weather is forecasted to be partly cloudy with a high of around the mid-60s to low 70s Fahrenheit and a low in the mid-40s to low 50s. Since Salt Lake City is not a coastal area, there are no tidal reports to consider. Sunrise is at 7:41 AM, and sunset will be at 6:45 PM.

    Fish activity has been moderate, particularly during the early morning and late evening hours when the water is cooler. Yesterday, anglers reported good catches of rainbow trout, tiger trout, and channel catfish. At Bountiful Pond in Davis County, several rainbow trout were caught, with sizes ranging from 9 to 14 inches. Jordanelle Reservoir was another hot spot, with reports of white bass and trout being caught.

    For targeting trout, using small jigs, spinners, or bait like Power Bait and nightcrawlers has been effective. Tiger trout have been biting well on lures such as small spoons and flies, especially midge patterns, caddis larvae, and Blue Winged Olive (BWO) emergers. Nymphing with black or grey emergers has also been successful. Channel catfish are biting well on nightcrawlers and chicken livers, especially in the evening hours.

    Two highly recommended spots are Bountiful Pond and the Provo River. The Provo River, both the Middle and Lower sections, is seeing good hatches of midges and BWOs, making it ideal for dry fly fishing. Utah Lake is another good spot, although it is undergoing some turnover, so it's best to target areas away from the dark or off-colored water. Main lake points and drop-offs are producing good catches of trout and bass.

    Remember to be mindful of the water conditions, as some smaller impoundments are experiencing turnover, leading to dark or off-colored water. Adjust your presentation accordingly or consider moving to another location. Good luck and good fishing

  • Salt Lake City Anglers' Guide: Cooler Weather, Trout & Catfish Biting at Bountiful Pond and Jordanelle Reservoir
    2024/10/24
    For anglers in the Salt Lake City area today, October 24, 2024, here’s what you can expect:

    The weather is forecasted to be partly cloudy with a high of around 68 degrees Fahrenheit and a low of 48 degrees. Sunrise is at 7:24 AM, and sunset will be at 6:54 PM. There is no tidal report to consider since Salt Lake City is not a coastal area.

    Fish activity has been moderate, particularly during the early morning and late evening hours when the water is cooler. Yesterday, anglers reported good catches of rainbow trout, tiger trout, and channel catfish. Bountiful Pond in Davis County and Jordanelle Reservoir are among the hot spots, with anglers catching a variety of fish species, including rainbow trout and channel catfish.

    For those targeting the Provo River, the flows are currently around 160 CFS out of Jordanelle Reservoir and 126 CFS at River Road. Focus on river structures like rocks, log jams, and foam lines, as fish tend to be in the deeper, faster oxygenated water.

    In terms of lures and bait, midge patterns, caddis larvae, and Blue Winged Olive emergers are highly effective for fly fishing. Nymphing with black or grey emergers has also been successful. For other methods, using small mayfly, midge, or attractor nymphs, and even streamers during the early mornings and late evenings, can move some good quality fish.

    If you're heading to the lakes and reservoirs, fishing from the shore can be good, especially in the mornings, cool afternoons, and evenings. The recent cooler temperatures have activated the fish, making these times ideal for catching.

    Remember to avoid the Middle Provo River around Legacy Bridge, 2400 North, and Cottonwood Bridge due to an ongoing fish survey by the Utah DWR from October 21st to 23rd, which may affect fish behavior for a day or two.

    Enjoy your fishing trip, and good luck on the water
