For anglers in the Salt Lake City area today, November 15, 2024, here’s what you can expect: Since Salt Lake City is not a coastal area, there are no tidal reports to consider.
The weather is forecasted to be partly cloudy with a high of around 58 degrees Fahrenheit and a low of 38 degrees. Sunrise is at 7:24 AM, and sunset will be at 6:54 PM.
Fish activity has been moderate, particularly during the early morning and late evening hours when the water is cooler. Yesterday, anglers reported good catches of rainbow trout, tiger trout, and channel catfish from local lakes and reservoirs.
At Bountiful Pond in Davis County, anglers caught a variety of fish species, including rainbow trout and channel catfish. Recent stockings at Bountiful Pond include 2501 rainbow trout on October 8 and several batches of channel catfish. Jordanelle Reservoir is another hot spot, with reports of white bass and trout being caught.
For targeting trout, using small jigs, spinners, or bait like powerbait and nightcrawlers has been effective. Tiger trout have been biting well on lures such as small spoons and flies. For channel catfish, bait like nightcrawlers and stink baits are recommended.
If you're looking for specific spots, Bountiful Pond and Jordanelle Reservoir are highly recommended. Focus on river structures like rocks, log jams, and foam lines in the Provo River, as fish tend to be in the deeper, faster oxygenated water.
Remember to check local fishing regulations and any recent stocking information before you head out. Enjoy your fishing trip
