Utah - Salt Lake City Fishing Report Today

Good morning, anglers. This is Artificial Lure reporting from Salt Lake City, Utah, and here’s your local fishing update for November 24, 2025.

We started out with a brisk autumn morning, air hanging cool and a little foggy in the valleys, with temps expected in the low 40s early climbing to around 55 by the afternoon—classic for this late-fall stretch in the Wasatch Front. Winds are light today, and that should help out, whether you’re casting a fly or soaking bait. According to solunar data, sunrise was at 7:10 AM and sunset will be at 7:52 PM, so you’ll get a good long day on the water before it gets dark.

Though Salt Lake proper doesn’t have ocean tides, fish activity follows moon phases and today we’re sitting at about a 15% waxing crescent moon. The major feeding windows are pegged for 3:08 to 5:08 AM and again this afternoon from 3:38 to 5:38 PM, with a minor uptick between 8:20 and 9:20 AM. Plan your sessions around those for your best chance at some bites, though the day rating is listed as ‘average’ by Solunar Forecast. The Farmers’ Almanac also calls today a fair fishing evening, adding you might have to work for your fish but persistence usually pays off.

Waters around Salt Lake City are running mostly clear, with the rivers lower than normal for the time of year—a result of drier-than-average conditions reported by Coyote Gulch in recent months. That’s got trout a little wary and holding tight to deeper pools and undercuts. At the Jordan River and canal systems, the bite has slowed some, with morning fog keeping things quiet early, but active fish have been taken mid-morning and again late day, per Fishbox’s local forecast.

Let’s talk recent catches. Up in the creeks and small reservoirs like Little Dell, anglers are reporting rainbow trout in the 12–16 inch range, plus the occasional cutthroat, most coming on smaller spoons, jigged soft plastics, and nymphs fished slow. Spin anglers are finding success with Panther Martins and small gold Kastmasters. The community ponds—Willow, Liberty, and Sugarhouse—produced stocked rainbows over the weekend on PowerBait in chartreuse or garlic, and on salmon eggs fished close to the bottom.

The best baits right now are natural: worms, nightcrawlers, and the ever-reliable single salmon egg for trout. For those casting lures, stick with downsized gear: silver and gold spinners, small Rapalas in brown trout pattern, and soft plastics in motor oil or earth tones. Fly anglers are still pulling in fish with Zebra Midges, Brassies, and small Pheasant Tails under indicators.

If you’re looking for a hot spot, the stretch below Big Cottonwood confluence on the Jordan River has been a steady option, especially for carp and catfish—shrimp and dough baits work best there. For trout, heading up to Red Pine Lake (as praised on Tripadvisor) not only gives you a beautiful hike but also the chance at some fat alpine trout eager for a late autumn meal, especially if you throw a dark wooly bugger or a flashy s

It’s Artificial Lure checking in from Salt Lake City, Utah, with your Friday, November 21st fishing report. Daybreak arrived at 7:20 a.m., with sunset set for 5:05 p.m. First light was met with cloudy skies and about 44 degrees, warming up to a high near 51 before dusk. The weather is mostly cloudy—not much chance of rain—and winds are gentle at about 5 mph from the east-northeast. The humidity’s at 84%, so things feel cool and damp, ideal for trout and bass to stay active in local waters. Air quality’s good, though keep an eye on it if you’re sensitive.

No tides here in the valley—so focus on moon phase and pressure changes. It’s a First Quarter Moon, and according to the Farmers’ Almanac and FishingReminder, major activity windows hit from 6:41 to 8:41 a.m. and again from 6:56 to 8:56 p.m. Afternoon minor bite from 2:01 to 4:01 p.m. means your best chances are right after sunrise and as the sun fades.

Let’s talk fish. According to recent reports and feedback from FishingReminder and Spreaker, local waters have seen good numbers of stocked rainbow and cutthroat trout, plus a surge of largemouth and smallmouth bass from the lower valley reservoirs. Jordan River’s tributaries have produced chunky carp and some channel catfish around dusk, while Utah Lake just down the road is giving up white bass and the occasional walleye—especially at river mouths and marina inlets.

Utah Lake’s been hot for white bass with catches running 20–40 fish per group in the past week, average size in the 12–15 inch range—good action on light tackle. Channel catfish remain steady (2–5 pounds typical), usually on cut bait or night crawlers. Walleye numbers depend on water clarity after recent rains, so move slow and target deeper cuts, particularly in the evenings.

Trout bite has held up steady in the mountain reservoirs just east—Little Dell, Silver Lake, and up toward Mountain Dell. Anglers report quick limits, especially on spinners and powerbait, with most rainbows running 10–14 inches. Midweek, a couple groups logged five-fish limits per angler before 10 a.m.!

Best baits and lures: For bass, try a Ned rig with green pumpkin or black, or toss shallow cranks in perch or shad colors across rocky points. Trout are coming on garlic-scented Powerbait in sherbet or orange, and silver-blue spinners or small spoons like a Kastmaster. Catfish are on cut sucker, chicken liver, or half a nightcrawler, fished slow on the bottom. White bass are slamming small curly-tail grubs and Zara Spook Jr. topwaters at dawn.

Today’s Hot Spots:

- Utah Lake, especially around the State Park marina, for white bass and channel cats.

- Jordan River at 1800 North and 900 West for carp, channel cat, and keep an eye out for small walleye.

- Little Dell Reservoir for consistent trout action and great morning shore casting.

If you’re shore-bound, Bayliss Fork’s twilight hours promise more bites—particularly when dawn coincides with the major moon period. Be sure to check local regs because some

Artificial Lure here with your Salt Lake City area fishing report for Thursday, November 20, 2025. Another brisk late fall morning and a good excuse to grab your rod and hit the local water, with sunrise at 7:19 AM and sunset at 5:06 PM. No tides to track this far from the coast, but moon phase sits at a strong First Quarter, which often triggers an uptick in fish feeding activity around the moonrise and set windows—handy for those predawn or evening missions, especially as daylight tightens up this late in November.

Cold mornings have kept water temperatures on the drop throughout our lakes and streams, but that’s what the trout and catfish seem to want right now. Reports up to this week from Decker Lake, the Jordan River, and the mountain creeks show consistent trout and catfish bites—nothing huge, but solid numbers. Brown and rainbow trout are getting more active as we edge into the tail end of the fall spawn, while channel cats on the Jordan are still taking baits in the deeper slow-flow sections, especially late afternoon as things warm slightly.

According to FishingReminder, peak fishing times today are 6:41 to 8:41 AM and from 6:56 to 8:56 PM, so make the most of those windows if you can. Most success lately has come on slow presentations: small jigs tipped with a nightcrawler or Gulp! minnow for the trout, and classic chicken liver or cutbait for those looking to tangle with catfish. Folks fly-fishing are reporting plenty of action on small streamers and beadhead nymphs in darker patterns like black, olive, or brown—think buggers, sculpins, and zebra midges.

If you want numbers and a shot at multi-species, Decker Lake is a go-to right now. Recent catches there include solid pan-sized channel cats, a few surprise crappie, and decent trout to 14 inches on chartreuse PowerBait or worms off the bottom. Daytime fishing is best during warmer afternoons but keep an eye on those majors and minors if you want to maximize bites.

The foothill creeks—City Creek and Emigration Creek—are still holding browns and bows in the riffles and tailouts, especially when drifting salmon eggs or a small #18–#20 midge pattern under a yarn indicator. For hardware, tiny spinners in gold or black work best on sunny days.

As for hot spots, my top picks:

- **Jordan River (north and central stretches):** Catfish biting well, plus the occasional white bass, especially at river bends and near deeper pools.

- **Decker Lake:** A reliable option for trout, catfish, and sometimes crappie, just west of downtown—you don’t need a boat for steady action.

- **City Creek:** Best close-to-town trout water right now, perfect for a lightweight spin or fly outfit.

Lure-wise, go finesse: 1/16-oz marabou jigs, plain woolly buggers, Kastmasters in gold, and little Mepps or Panther Martins. For bait, nothing is outperforming a fresh nightcrawler or chunk of cutbait for the cats, while PowerBait nuggets in orange or chartreuse are pulling in trout across the valley.

Weather-wise, exp

Good morning anglers, Artificial Lure here with your Salt Lake City fishing report for Wednesday, November 19, 2025. It’s a classic late-fall morning along the Wasatch Front. We’ve got a crisp 38°F at sunrise with visibility clear and winds light from the southeast—ideal conditions if you’re itching for one more cast before the serious chill sets in. Sunrise was at 7:16 AM, and sunset’s coming up at 5:07 PM, giving us just under ten hours of solid fishing light.

Salt Lake and the surrounding valley don’t get coastal tides, but don’t let that fool you—the barometric shifts ahead of a weak cold front tonight have the fish a touch more active during the mid-morning through early afternoon. According to yesterday’s on-the-water chatter and reports out of Watson Lake, East Millcreek, and Causey Reservoir, anglers are landing a mixed bag. Trout species are still hot: healthy rainbows up to 15 inches, some late-season cutthroat, and a couple of surprising big browns up to 20 inches spotted closer to dusk.

The best action right now is on the lower Jordan River stretches, just outside Salt Lake City’s urban core, and the accessible levee points along Little Dell Reservoir. Folks working slow-retrieved spinners—especially gold-bladed Rooster Tails and olive Panther Martins—are out-catching traditional dough baits two to one. For fly folks, nymphing is king: Pheasant Tails and Zebra Midges suspended about 18 inches off the bottom are drawing aggressive strikes, with the takes coming in softly, so keep your eyes sharp.

Bass action has slowed with cooling water, but some persistent anglers tossing Northland’s Rumble B crankbait along south-facing riprap at Utah Lake are still finding a few lingering largemouths, mostly in the 1.5–2-pound range. Soft plastics—green pumpkin tubes and Ned rigs—are getting picked up tight to submerged structure where the sun keeps things a tick warmer.

As for bait, it’s a chilly-morning classic: waxworms or nightcrawlers for the trout bite, especially at Farmington Pond and even up at Bear Lake if you make the trip. For Bear Lake, which sits higher up and always runs colder this time of year—the surface temp was 50.5°F at the State Park Marina this morning—slip bobbers tipped with cut bait are producing decent numbers of cutthroat and the odd lake trout. Locals are gearing up for the ice season, though it’ll be a couple more weeks before hardwater is safe for walking.

Speaking of Bear Lake, it’s absolutely worth a mention as a hotspot right now. That signature turquoise water is still open, the crowds are gone, and anglers moving around Cisco Beach are reporting some of the best solitude and late-fall trout action of the season. Closer to town, try the deck at Little Dell just east of the city, where the cold water keeps trout feeding actively before winter sets in.

Overall, the word from local bait shops and the Utah DWR creel surveys is that numbers are solid—average catch rates are about three trout per angler at Little

Good morning anglers, Artificial Lure here with your fishing report for Salt Lake City and surrounding waters this Tuesday, November 18, 2025.

We’re starting off with the **weather**—a crisp, late-fall morning with clear skies, light winds, and highs reaching the low 40s. If you’re heading out early, bundle up. The **sunrise hit at 7:19 AM**, and we’ll see sunset at 5:08 PM tonight. Plan your outings around those windows, especially since the best bite times today are **major from 6:41 AM to 8:41 AM** and again **6:56 PM to 8:56 PM**. The moon’s in its first quarter phase, sitting about 39% visible, and that’s usually good news for active fish in local lakes and rivers, especially with the minor periods midday.

Now, as locals know, Salt Lake City’s main fishing targets are freshwater—no ocean tides here, so fish activity is shaped by weather and moon phase more than tidal shifts. According to FishingReminder, warmwater species like **white bass, channel catfish, and walleye** are big draws at Utah Lake, but fall is prime time for **rainbow trout, brown trout**, and even the occasional **cutthroat** in the creeks and reservoirs.

**Recent catches:**

Folks have been landing solid numbers of **trout** in Big Cottonwood Creek, Mill Creek, City Creek, and up at Decker Lake. Provo River has been producing **large brown trout**—“big browns” as reported on KUTV’s Hooked on Outdoors segment just this weekend. Anglers have hit Browns over 20 inches using slow drifting tactics. A couple of reports from Bear Lake show **lake trout (“Mackinaw”) in the 20–30 inch range**, with one trophy fish weighing in at 11 pounds. Near Salt Lake, most action remains focused on trout and the last run of smallmouth and bass down at Utah Lake.

**Best baits and lures:**

Locals are reaching regularly for **soft plastic worms** like the Big Bite Baits Scentsation Cliffhanger and Thresher Worms—both excellent for finesse techniques on picky trout and bass. Yamamoto Senko and Slinko also do well for late-season bass. For trout, stick with **inline spinners (Panther Martin, Mepps), small spoons (Jake’s, Castmasters)**, and if fly fishing, **midges and streamers** are getting it done, especially early and late.

**Live baits** like nightcrawlers and waxworms continue to produce, especially in colder water. On Bear Lake, those pursuing lake trout swear by cut cisco or chunked baitfish. For Utah Lake catfish and walleye, chicken liver and stink baits remain top picks.

**Hot spots:**

- **Big Cottonwood Creek:** Good numbers of rainbows and browns, especially in upper reaches where water is clearer and colder.

- **Provo River:** Big browns hitting streamers and nymphs.

- **Decker Lake:** Reliable action for stocker rainbows and the occasional bass.

- **City Creek:** Smaller trout but consistent action close to downtown.

Remember, beaches and bays like Bayliss Fork offer great twilight shoreline action. If you want solitude, early morning or late evening around Mill Creek or L

Good morning, Salt Lake City anglers. It’s a crisp November day out here, and the bite’s been steady if you know where to look. The weather’s holding steady, with clear skies and temps hovering in the upper 30s to low 40s, so layer up if you’re hitting the water early. Sunrise is just after 7:30 AM, and sunset will be around 5:15 PM, so you’ve got a solid window for some quality time on the water.

The moon’s in its First Quarter phase, and according to FishingReminder, the best bite times today are from 6:41 AM to 8:41 AM, then again from 6:56 PM to 8:56 PM. These major feeding windows are prime for targeting walleye, white bass, and channel catfish, especially around Utah Lake. The lake’s been producing some nice catches lately, with reports of walleye and white bass stacking up near river mouths and points. Channel catfish are still active, but you’ll want to focus on deeper holes and slower-moving water.

For lures, stick with crankbaits and jigs—Northland’s Rumble B Crankbait is a solid choice for walleye, and a classic jig-and-minnow combo works wonders for white bass. If you’re after catfish, try cut bait or stink bait, and don’t be afraid to let it sit on the bottom. For those who prefer live bait, minnows and nightcrawlers are always a safe bet.

If you’re looking for a couple of hot spots, head to Decker Lake or the Jordan River. Decker Lake’s been consistent for panfish and catfish, and the Jordan River’s got some good action for white bass and walleye, especially near the Old River Channel. Both spots are easily accessible and offer plenty of room for casting.

Good morning, Salt Lake City anglers. This is Artificial Lure, and I’m here to give you the lowdown on what’s happening out on the water today, November 16th, 2025. The weather’s been a bit of a mixed bag lately, but right now, we’re looking at mostly cloudy skies with a chance of showers, and temperatures hovering around 61 degrees high and 42 degrees low. The winds are light, but keep an eye out for those afternoon showers rolling in. According to the latest forecast, there’s a 24% chance of precipitation today, so pack a rain jacket just in case.

Sunrise is at 7:24 AM, and sunset is at 5:18 PM, giving us a decent window to get out there and wet a line. The tides aren’t a big factor here in the inland waters, but the weather and water conditions are what you need to watch. The recent weather has been mild, with mostly cloudy to overcast skies, and the temperatures have been in the mid-60s across the Wasatch Front. This kind of weather is perfect for fishing, especially if you’re targeting trout and bass.

Now, let’s talk fish activity. The latest reports from the Fishbrain app show that Rainbow trout are still the most popular catch, with over 11,000 reported catches in the past few months. Largemouth bass are a close second, with around 7,600 catches, and Channel catfish are also making a strong showing with nearly 5,000 catches. Brown trout, Bluegill, and Yellow bullhead are also being caught regularly, so there’s plenty of action out there.

If you’re looking for the best spots, Willow Pond and Holmes Reservoir are both hot right now. Willow Pond has been producing some nice Rainbow trout and Channel catfish, while Holmes Reservoir is a great spot for Rainbow trout. For a change of pace, try Farmington Pond or Rockport Lake, both of which have been yielding good numbers of Rainbow trout. If you’re feeling adventurous, head over to Manila Creek Park, where anglers have been catching Rainbow trout and other species.

When it comes to lures and bait, the locals swear by spinners and spoons for trout, especially in the early morning and late afternoon. For bass, try crankbaits and soft plastics, and for catfish, live bait like nightcrawlers and chicken liver works wonders. Don’t forget to check the local regulations before you head out, as they can change throughout the year.

So, grab your gear, pick your spot, and get out there. The fish are biting, and the weather is perfect for a day on the water. Thanks for tuning in, and don’t forget to subscribe for more fishing reports and tips. This has been a quiet please production, for more check out quiet please dot ai.

Artificial Lure here with your Salt Lake City fishing report for Saturday, November 15, 2025. We’re rolling into a classic fall transition, and it’s a great time to be out on the water before the first real winter blast hits the Wasatch Front.

Weather-wise, the morning started cool under mostly cloudy skies, temps in the upper 40s at sunup, warming to a high of about 64 before an evening dip toward 45. A fresher breeze is coming in ahead of a weekend system, but Saturday itself should be dry, making for a comfortable day to wet a line. Sunrise was at 7:10 AM, and sunset’s coming up at 5:09 PM—plan your trips accordingly as those daylight hours are squeezing tighter every week. The latest updates from FOX 13 News and The Weather Network point to clear fishing today, but get your gear ready for wet and chillier weather Sunday, with snow predicted up in the Cottonwoods and rain in the valleys.

No tidal swing for us, but this pre-storm pressure drop usually sets off the bite, especially in lowland community waters. At Meeks Lake, just to the north, Fishbox is still rating action as “excellent,” and that’s lining up with local word on Blackridge Reservoir, Utah Lake, and East Canyon as well.

Let’s talk fish: Anglers have been reporting solid catches of **rainbow trout** and **cutthroat** in local reservoirs, with a bonus of some heavy **brown trout** coming out in the evenings. Water temps are dropping just enough to push bigger trout up shallow, and the bite has been best early and late. Utah Lake edges remain alive with **white bass** and **channel catfish**—catfish have been taken by drift-rigging baits, according to north Alabama techniques highlighted by B’n’M Poles don’t be afraid to go old-school and anchor up with cut bait. The Jordan River’s producing its usual late-year mixed bag—carp are still rolling, and a few brave souls have pulled decent-sized trout right below the spillways.

Best baits lately have been **nightcrawlers** under a bobber or on the bottom in moving water, with floating PowerBait taking plenty of stocked trout at local ponds. For lures, keep it simple: a **1/8 oz. gold or silver Kastmaster** is dynamite for anything with fins right now—cast and countdown retrieves are working wonders. If you prefer finesse tactics, a white or chartreuse curly-tail grub on a light jig head or a classic **marabou jig** in black is tough to beat, especially for those staging browns.

As for numbers, neighborhood lakes like Sugarhouse Park and Liberty Park Pond were just stocked last week—anglers have been reporting stringers full of pan-sized rainbows daily. At Utah Lake, bank anglers are averaging 2-5 white bass per hour near Lincoln Beach, mostly on small swimbaits and worms. Browns at East Canyon have been harder to fool, but the few caught have been worth bragging about—bring big nets!

Hot spots this week:

- **Big Cottonwood Creek, up near the mouth**, has been loaded with trout moving up to spawn—try a small spinners or drift a sal

Artificial Lure reporting in with your Salt Lake City area fishing rundown for Friday, November 14th, 2025. Sunrise hit at 7:11 a.m., casting those classic golden beams across the Wasatch. Sunset’s coming up just after 5:11 p.m. We’re sitting in prime late fall form: cool mornings, climbing into the mid 60s by midday, with partly cloudy skies and a light breeze—perfect weather for casting a line, according to the latest hourly breakdown from Time and Date and Fox 13’s forecast.

No tidal swings to worry about inland, but water levels are steady thanks to recent restoration efforts. The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources reports ongoing watershed improvements this year, meaning area streams and lakes are showing healthy clarity and strong flows for November.

Fish activity’s been steady if not hot. According to Fishbox, places like Pacer Lake are showing “average” bite rates, with the best catches coming during those low-light sunrise and sunset slots. Anglers in the Salt Lake metro have been pulling in **rainbow and cutthroat trout** from both the Jordan River and nearby reservoirs, with some bonus **walleye** showing up at Utah Lake, especially during the dusk hours. Recent reports include several 16-inch rainbows and a few 20-inch cutts landed near daybreak, plus a trio of chunky kokanee from the upper Provo arm—those fall-run fish are still hanging in the deeper pools.

Best lures right now: locals are swearing by **small gold Kastmasters, chartreuse jigs, and classic Panther Martins** for trout action. For walleye and even the odd bass, a **swimbait or a black/silver Rapala XR** has tempted strikes. On the bait side, **nightcrawlers and fresh salmon eggs** are producing, especially drifted along seams and just off ledges.

If you’re aiming for numbers, hit the **Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge out toward Brigham City** where shallow channels are stacked with panfish and the trout are biting on worms beneath a bobber. For size, the **Jordan River Parkway**—from 3300 South down to 4500 South—remains a top local bet for bigger rainbows, plus some migrating browns getting aggressive ahead of the winter spawn.

Water clarity is solid most of the day, but with the increase in leaf litter, expect to clear your hooks a bit more often. No ice yet, but mornings are brisk—dress in layers and bring a thermos!

Quick gear check: four to six-pound mono for finesse trout work; bump up to eight or ten if you’re casting for walleye or targeting bigger browns. And as always, mind your single-barb regs on the rivers—help keep those fish healthy for another day.

Good morning Salt Lake anglers, this is Artificial Lure bringing you today’s fishing report for Thursday, November 13th, 2025.

Let’s kick things off with the **weather:** the valley’s seeing a chilly start in the upper 30s, climbing to near 56 by mid-afternoon, mostly clear with a light breeze. **Sunrise was at 7:12 AM, sunset will be at 5:13 PM**, giving us a solid fall fishing window. No tidal report for Salt Lake City’s freshwater bodies, but Bear River Bay and Utah Lake do see some wind-driven current influencing bite activity.

**Fish activity** this week has picked up with the drop in temperatures. Locals report strong trout action at **Jordanelle and East Canyon Reservoirs**, with both rainbow and cutthroat working “close to drop-offs and near inlets.” The trout are hungry before ice-up; some are taking **powerbait and worms** while more are chasing smaller spoons and inline spinners. Recent catches have averaged around 13 to 18 inches, with a few lucky folks netting 20-inch cutthroats.

Up at **Strawberry Reservoir**, the cold snap has woken up bigger rainbows, cutthroat, and kokanee. Shore anglers found a reliable bite using jigged tube baits and 1/8-ounce marabou jigs in chartreuse and white. Most reported limits by noon yesterday. Boaters, take note—over $1.5 million is going into ramp and dock improvements across Utah for next season, including the Chicken Creek East and Renegade Ramp on Strawberry. So access will only get better for next year, says the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources.

For the **bass guys**, Utah Lake State Park remains a late fall hotspot for smallmouth and largemouth. Best numbers are coming on **slow-rolled swimbaits** and purple **soft plastics** fished on drop shots. The Learning Center at Tackle Warehouse suggests “downsizing tackle with colder water, and trying Ned rigs or a finesse TRD worm for lethargic bass.” There’s even been mixed reports of white bass hitting small crankbaits around Provo Bay.

Locally, **hot spots** this week:

- **Jordanelle Reservoir** shoreline by Rock Cliffs (active trout, some bass)

- **East Canyon Reservoir**, near the spillway for consistent rainbow catches

- **Strawberry Reservoir Renegade Ramp**, updated docks for easy launching and prime cutthroat schools

If you’re heading out, pack **PowerBait, nightcrawlers, and small spoons** for trout, plus **swimbaits, Ned rigs, and jerkbaits** for bass. For fly anglers, olive **woolly buggers** and **nymphs** are tempting trout in the afternoons.

Recent angler feedback at Timothy Lakes says kid-friendly fishing is still solid—bring the family, toss out a worm or glitter PowerBait, and expect steady action on pan-sized rainbows.

Remember, boaters can look forward to better access in 2026 across the region, per the latest Division of Outdoor Recreation grants. With cooler weather and less traffic, the next few weeks are prime for hitting northern Utah lakes before full ice-up.
