  • Summary

  • For those planning to head out fishing around Salt Lake City today, here’s what you need to know:

    First, let's talk about the weather and daylight. Sunrise is at 7:24 AM, and sunset will be at 6:54 PM, giving you a good window to get out on the water. The weather is expected to be moderate, making it a great day for fishing.

    Fish activity has been moderate, especially during the early morning and late evening hours. This pattern is consistent with recent reports, where fish have been most active during these times.

    For specific fishing spots, Bountiful Pond in Davis County is a hot spot. Recently, on October 8, 2024, 2501 rainbow trout were stocked here, and another batch of 2000 rainbow trout was added on September 23, 2024[2].

    Another good location is East Canyon State Park, where the trout fishing has been excellent. Fish are biting well, whether you're casting from the shore or in a boat. Fall is one of the best times to fish here, and using a white tube jig tipped with a worm has been highly effective[3].

    In terms of the types of fish, you can expect to catch rainbow trout, channel catfish, and possibly some bass. At Bountiful Pond, channel catfish were stocked as recently as September 19, 2024[2].

    For lures and bait, stick with what's been working well lately. For trout, especially at East Canyon State Park, a white tube jig tipped with a worm is a good choice. For catfish, nightcrawlers or other live bait tend to work well.

    If you're into fly fishing, the Green River below Flaming Gorge Dam is another option, although it's a bit further from Salt Lake City. Here, nymphing with smaller flies like midges, mayflies, and caddis patterns has been successful. Dry fly fishing with PMDs and caddis can also yield results[4].

    Overall, it should be a good day for fishing around Salt Lake City, so make sure to get out early or late to catch the best action.
