SLC Fishing Report: Trout, Smallies, and Cats Biting Across the Wasatch Front
Hey there, fellow anglers! Artificial Lure here with your Salt Lake City fishing report for March 11, 2025.
First off, let's talk weather. We're looking at partly cloudy skies today with a high of 58°F and a low of 42°F. Winds are light at 5-10 mph from the southwest. Sunrise was at 6:42 AM and sunset will be at 6:31 PM, giving us plenty of daylight to wet our lines.
Now, onto the fishing! The trout bite has been hot lately in the local rivers and streams. Anglers have been having great luck on the Provo River, especially in the middle section. Rainbow and brown trout in the 12-16 inch range have been hitting hard on small nymphs and streamers. If you're heading to the Provo, try a size 18 Pheasant Tail nymph or a size 10 Woolly Bugger in olive or black.
Over at Jordanelle Reservoir, the smallmouth bass fishing has been picking up as the water warms. Folks have been catching good numbers of 2-3 pounders on drop shot rigs with 4-inch finesse worms in green pumpkin or watermelon red. For you crankbait enthusiasts, try a shad-colored square bill along rocky points.
If you're looking to stay closer to the city, don't overlook the Jordan River Parkway. The catfish have been biting well, especially in the deeper holes. Chicken liver or nightcrawlers fished on the bottom have been producing some nice channel cats in the 3-5 pound range.
For you trout bums, the Department of Wildlife Resources just stocked a bunch of rainbows in Bountiful Lake last week. Powerbait in chartreuse or rainbow has been the ticket there.
As for hot spots, I'd highly recommend checking out Twin Lakes Reservoir up Big Cottonwood Canyon. The ice is off and the cutthroat trout are hungry. Small gold spinners or fly and bubble setups with a black Woolly Bugger have been working well.
Another spot that's been producing is the shoreline around Antelope Island. Wiper fishing has been excellent, with some real bruisers in the 5-8 pound range being caught. Try trolling deep-diving crankbaits or jigging spoons in 15-25 feet of water.
That's all for now, folks. Remember to check those regulations and get your 2025 fishing license if you haven't already. Tight lines and see you on the water!
