Hot Trout and Lunkers: The Freshest Fishing Report for Salt Lake City
Howdy there, anglers! Artificial Lure here, bringing you the freshest fishing report for Salt Lake City and surroundings on this fine Saturday morning, May 31st, 2025.
Sun's up bright and early at 6:02 AM today, and we'll have plenty of daylight until sunset at 8:47 PM. Weather's looking mighty fine with temperatures already in the mid-60s, heading toward the high 70s by afternoon - absolutely perfect fishing conditions!
The fishing scene has been red-hot lately, folks! Rainbow trout action is phenomenal right now. Canyon View Park Pond got stocked with some absolute lunkers on May 21st - we're talking 20-inchers! The Community Fishery over in Sandy is still holding plenty of those 15-inch rainbows from the mid-April stocking. These beauties are hungry and hitting hard!
Over at Calder Reservoir, they've been really busy with the stockings this month - rainbows, brown trout, and even some sterile grass carp swimming around. It's a bit of a drive from Salt Lake, but well worth it if you're looking for variety.
For you fly fishers, morning nymphing has been steady with midges and BWOs (Blue Winged Olives). As we move into afternoon, switch to dry flies when those hatches start popping. Try zebra midges in black, size 22-26, and for the BWOs, Comparaduns in olive or No Seeums in grey (sizes 18-20) have been producing like crazy.
Conventional tackle anglers are having success with small spinners, particularly in silver and gold patterns. PowerBait in chartreuse or rainbow has been effective, and don't overlook good old-fashioned nightcrawlers - they're still king for the bigger browns.
Hot spots for today? I'd hit Camp Kostopaulus which got a fresh rainbow stocking earlier this month. For a bit of a wilderness experience, head up to one of those Uinta Mountain lakes - with over 600 fishable lakes, you're bound to find your own private fishing paradise!
Water levels are running high across the region with most reservoirs near capacity, which means fish are active and have spread out. Perfect time to try those spots that might be too shallow later in summer.
For those looking for a different target, bass fishing has been picking up as well. Largemouth are moving into their post-spawn patterns and can be found in the shallows near structure. Topwater frogs and tubes have been working well in the early morning and evening hours.
