Fishing the Middle and Lower Provo Rivers in Salt Lake City on November 16th

  • Summary

  • For November 16th in the Salt Lake City area, here’s what you can expect for your fishing trip:

    First, let's look at the timing. Sunrise is at 7:59 AM, and sunset will be at 6:23 PM. Nautical twilight begins at 6:58 AM and ends at 7:24 PM, which can be crucial for those early morning and late evening fishing sessions.

    The moon is currently in its waxing crescent phase, with moonrise at 8:14 AM and moonset at 6:15 PM. While Salt Lake City does not have tidal changes, the moon phases can still influence fish activity. Today's major bite times are from 12:14 PM to 2:14 PM and 11:41 PM to 1:41 AM, with minor times from 7:14 AM to 9:14 AM and 5:15 PM to 7:15 PM[3].

    Weather-wise, fish activity has been moderate, especially during the early morning and late evening hours. For the Middle Provo River and Lower Provo River, which are some of the best spots in the area, nymphing small midges (size 24-26) has been consistent. The Buffalo Midge hatch, which typically starts around 12:30 PM, has been excellent, with black and grey shuckers working well[2].

    In terms of fish caught, the Middle Provo River has seen a good number of trout caught on emerging midge patterns in grey and black. The Lower Provo River has also been productive, with midges and sow bugs (size 22-24) being effective. You can expect to catch trout, with some reports of bass and catfish in other nearby waters[2].

    For lures and bait, small midge nymphs in grey, black, and brown are highly recommended. Dry fly fishing with brown shuckers and cluster midges has also been successful during the midday hatch. For those targeting bass and catfish, standard lures like small jigs and nightcrawlers can be effective[2].

    Hot spots to consider include the Middle Provo River, particularly the Green Gate and Bunny Farm areas, and the Lower Provo River. Both of these rivers offer excellent fly fishing opportunities and are known for their consistent fish activity during this time of year[2].

    Remember to check local fishing regulations and ensure you have the necessary permits before you head out. Enjoy your fishing trip
