Spring Trout Explosion at Deer Creek and Jordanelle Reservoirs
from Utah - Salt Lake City Fishing Report Today · host Inception Point AI
Hey folks, this is Artificial Lure, your local fishing guru right here in the Salt Lake City valley, comin' at ya with the fresh report for April 20th, 2026. Dawn's breakin' early at about 6:45 AM, sunset around 8:00 PM—plenty of light for a full day on the water. Weather's lookin' prime: highs in the mid-60s, light winds from the southwest at 5-10 mph, mostly sunny with a touch of high clouds per the National Weather Service forecast. No tides up here in our freshwater havens, but solunar peaks hit mid-morning and evenin' for peak bites. Fish activity's rampin' up with spring open water—trout are aggressive post-ice-out. Recent catches around the region mirror our local spots: rainbows, browns, and lake trout haulin' in steady. Fishing with Bernie reports excellent action at nearby reservoirs like Lake Granby, where rainbows smash Kastmasters and Little Cleo spoons near inlets, browns hit 3-inch jerk baits in crawfish on rocky shores, and lakers grab 3-5 inch white or green pumpkin tubes in 15-60 feet. Shore anglers score rainbows and browns with chrome Kastmasters or pink Vibramax spinners; pike and lakers on Rapala X-Raps, Husky Jerks, and green tubes from drop-offs. Mirror that locally on **Deer Creek Reservoir**—hot spot numero uno, ramps open, shore fishin' fire for rainbows and cutthroats with Kastmasters or small spinners early/late. **Jordanelle Reservoir** is spot two, killer for browns and lakers; chuck tubes or jerkbaits along steep banks. Best lures: Kastmasters, Little Cleos, 3-5 inch tubes (white/green pumpkin), Rapala X-Raps. Live bait? Nightcrawlers or minnows under slip bobbers shine for rainbows. Water temps hoverin' 42-48°F—target shallows at dawn/dusk, go deep midday. Limits are tight, practice catch-and-release where needed, and watch for rising levels. Get out there before the crowds!
