Spring Bite is On at Jordanelle: Trout, Bass, and Perch Limits in the Cards
from Utah - Salt Lake City Fishing Report Today · host Inception Point AI
Hey folks, this is Artificial Lure, your go-to fishing guru right here in the Salt Lake City valley. It's a crisp early spring morning on March 18th, 2026, and the bite's pickin' up as the snow melts off. Water temps at Jordanelle Reservoir are sittin' steady at 38 degrees per Utah State Parks' latest update from March 17th—no ice left, ramps are open though courtesy docks are out, and levels are at 64.51%. Sunrise hit around 7:20 AM, sunset 'bout 7:15 PM, givin' us a solid 12 hours of light. Weather's lookin' partly cloudy with highs in the low 50s, light winds—perfect for gettin' out there without freezin' your line off. Fish activity's fair to good, especially for trout huggin' deeper water, 15-25 feet down. Utah State Parks reports anglers are pullin' decent numbers of rainbow, brown, splake, and even cutthroat trout—limits are 4 per day. Bass is hot too: smallmouth and largemouth hittin' good on soft plastics. Walleye and yellow perch are active; perch limits at 50, and they're stackin' up for folks tossin' jigs. Recent catches from Hooked on Outdoors aired March 14th show kokanee bitin' even in snowy conditions at Jordanelle—folks limited out trollin' jigs. Best baits? Garlic, corn, or cheese-scented trout dough off the bottom with a casting bubble—kills it from shore or boat. For lures, go Jakes Spin-A-Lure (spring slayer!), Thomas Speedy Shiner, Eppinger Daredevil, Acme Kastmaster, Zona Z-ray, Panther Martin, Blue Fox Vibram Spinner, or Rapala Original for trout. Bass love wacky-rigged Senkos, tube jigs, Ned rigs, drop-shots, and swimbaits. Walleye want minnows, feather jigs, woolly buggers, or curl-tail grubs in pearl, chartreuse, glow, white, orange, two-tone. Perch dig two-toned tube or curl-tail jigs in yellow, red, chartreuse, pink, neon, glow. Hot spots? Hit Hailstone or Rock Cliff at Jordanelle State Park—easy access, fish cleanin' stations open soon. Or paddle Ross Creek for non-motorized trout action. Wear your life jacket, check DWR Fishing App for stockings, and decontaminate for invasives.
