Autumn Fishing Around Salt Lake City - Trout, Catfish, and Favorite Spots

For anglers in the Salt Lake City area today, October 9, 2024, here’s what you can expect: The weather is forecasted to be partly cloudy with a high of around 84 degrees Fahrenheit and a low of 63 degrees. Sunrise is at 7:03 AM, and sunset will be at 7:25 PM. Since Salt Lake City is not a coastal area, there are no tidal reports to consider, but the nearby lakes and reservoirs are bustling with fish activity. Yesterday, anglers reported good catches of rainbow trout, tiger trout, and channel catfish. The fish have been active, especially during the early morning and late evening hours when the water is cooler. At Bountiful Pond in Davis County, anglers caught a decent number of rainbow trout and channel catfish. Jordanelle Reservoir was another hot spot, with reports of white bass and trout being caught. For targeting trout, midges, caddis larvae, and worms have been effective. In the Provo River, which is one of the local hot spots, trout have been biting well on these baits. For those looking to catch white bass and trout at Deer Creek Reservoir, recent reports suggest using crankbaits or spoons. If you're after channel catfish, Bountiful Pond has been a great place to try, with channel catfish recently stocked there. For catfish, nightcrawlers and stink baits are usually very effective. Given the cooler temperatures, fish are likely to be active in the shallower waters during the mornings, cool afternoons, and evenings. Focus on river structures like rocks, log jams, and foam lines in the Provo River for the best results. Overall, it's a great time to hit the water in the Salt Lake City area, with plenty of fish activity and favorable weather conditions.
