Fishing Around Salt Lake City on November 3, 2024 - Weather, Trout Hotspots, and Tackle Recommendations

For those looking to cast a line around Salt Lake City today, November 3, 2024, here’s what you need to know. First off, since we're inland, there's no tidal report to worry about, but the weather is crisp with a high of around 58 degrees and a low of 38 degrees. Sunrise was at 7:43 AM, and sunset will be at 5:04 PM, giving you a good window to get out on the water. If you're heading to the Provo River, conditions are very good. The stream is flowing near normal levels and the water is clear, with an afternoon temperature of about 60 degrees. Yesterday, anglers on the Provo River had a great day catching brown trout, with some rainbows and cutthroats mixed in. The river is known for its dense trout population, with up to 3000 trout per mile in some sections. For the Provo River, recommended lures include Brown Sculpin, White Belly Sculpin, and Articulated streamers. Dry flies like Blue-winged Olives and nymphs such as Scuds/sowbugs are also effective. Another hot spot is Bountiful Pond in Davis County. Recently, this pond has seen significant fish stocking, including 2501 Rainbow trout on October 8 and another 2000 on September 23. Channel Catfish were also stocked here in September. For Bountiful Pond, using bait like nightcrawlers or small jigs can be very effective for catching both trout and catfish. In general, fall is an excellent time to fish in Utah, especially with the brown trout spawn underway. So grab your gear, and whether you're wading the Provo River or casting a line at Bountiful Pond, you're in for a great day of fishing.
