Good morning anglers, this is Artificial Lure coming to you with your Monday, April 21st, 2025 fishing report for Salt Lake City, Utah and the surrounding waters.<br /><br />The sun rose today at 6:44 AM and will set around 8:15 PM, giving you plenty of daylight to hit your favorite spots. While we’re landlocked here in Salt Lake, tidal reports aren’t a concern, so just focus on the weather and water conditions today. It’s a cool spring morning, temps starting in the 40s, warming up to a pleasant mid-60s in the afternoon, with a light southwesterly breeze and partly cloudy skies. That should keep the fish active through mid-morning and then again as the sun starts to dip.<br /><br />Fish activity has been strong in the area ponds and reservoirs, with Rainbow Trout leading the catches. The most commonly caught species lately are Rainbows, but you’ll also find Cutthroat Trout, Brown Trout, and some Bluegill and Largemouth Bass in the lower elevation ponds. Anglers at Willow Pond and Stonebridge Golf Club Pond have reported steady action on Rainbows this past week, especially using PowerBait in chartreuse or garlic, and with small spinners like the Panther Martin or Rooster Tail in silver and gold. Jordan River has seen some decent Catfish too, mostly on nightcrawlers and chicken liver in the deeper holes[1].<br /><br />If you’re looking to get out of town, Twin Lakes Reservoir up Big Cottonwood Canyon has been a real treat. Bonneville Cutthroat are biting, especially for those throwing small jigs or casting inline spinners near the inlets. The hike in is beautiful and the fish are healthy, fattened up from a steady supply of baitfish[2].<br /><br />Some other hot spots include the Provo River, where fly anglers are doing well on midges and small nymphs in the morning, and Willard Bay for Wiper and Walleye if you're after something with more fight[2].<br /><br />Best baits today across town: PowerBait for stocked trout, nightcrawlers for everything from Bluegill to Catfish, and try a slow-retrieved spinner in the shallows once the sun hits the water. For those going after Bass, soft plastics in a green pumpkin or dark color have picked up a few decent fish at the local ponds.<br /><br />In summary, Rainbow Trout are biting well all around Salt Lake City, especially at Willow Pond and Stonebridge. For an adventure, Twin Lakes is worth the trip for Cutthroat. Stay mobile, fish the transitions, and you’ll find success. Tight lines out there!

Artificial Lure here with your Salt Lake City fishing report for Sunday, April 20, 2025.<br /><br />We’ve had classic spring weather rolling through the Wasatch Front, with mild mornings and temps warming up quickly by midday. For today, expect partly cloudy skies, light breezes, and highs in the low 60s. Sunrise hit at 6:44 AM with sunset coming at 8:14 PM. While we don’t have tidal data in this landlocked region, the weather pattern should make for comfortable, productive fishing in the valley and up in the canyons.<br /><br />The rivers around Salt Lake City, particularly the Middle Provo, are turning on as midges and blue-winged olives are hatching throughout the day. Flows have bumped up on the Middle Provo to around 307 CFS which can throw the fish off a bit at first, but the action usually gets hot again once both the fish and insects adjust. Watch for afternoon olive hatches and go with size 18-20 Comparaduns or No Seeums in grey or olive. Earlier in the day, black and grey zebra midges in size 22-26 or the Mother Shucker pattern are killing it. Nymphing before and after hatches is still highly effective, especially if you use Jeongs patterns in black or brown. On cooler, cloudy days (like today), expect especially strong surface activity in the afternoon. If you’re fishing the seams and riffles, you’re in for a treat as rainbows are starting to show their spawning colors, so watch where you step and avoid disturbing any redds[3][4][5].<br /><br />For the stillwaters, the Sandy Community Fishery has been stocked consistently in April, with three recent plants of rainbow trout ranging from 9.5 to over 17 inches just within the past two weeks. On April 16, 175 rainbows averaging nearly 16 inches plus a few bruisers over 17 inches were added, making it a great option for those looking for easy bank access and plenty of fish[1][2]. These fresh stockers are eager to bite on PowerBait in chartreuse or rainbow colors, nightcrawlers fished just off the bottom, and small Panther Martin or Rooster Tail spinners. Fly anglers should use small woolly buggers and egg patterns.<br /><br />Top hotspots today include the Middle Provo River, especially near River Road Bridge, and the Sandy Community Fishery for easy access and action. For families or new anglers, the Sandy Community Fishery is hard to beat. For a more technical challenge, hit the Middle Provo and bring your midge and olive patterns.<br /><br />To wrap up, fishing right now around Salt Lake City is excellent with steady stockings and strong river activity thanks to spring insect hatches. Whether you like tossing hardware, soaking bait, or matching the hatch with flies, you’ll find success this weekend. Tight lines from Artificial Lure, and remember to tread carefully to protect spawning trout.

Artificial Lure here with your Salt Lake City area fishing report for today, April 19, 2025.<br /><br />Let’s start with the weather. It’s a crisp spring morning with temperatures kicking off in the 40s, expected to climb towards the low 60s by midday. Skies look mostly clear with light winds, making it a comfortable day for casting. Sunrise was at 6:47 AM and sunset will be around 8:08 PM, so you have plenty of daylight to get after it. Since there are no tidal waters in the Salt Lake Valley proper, you don’t need to worry about tides impacting your bite.<br /><br />Water around local ponds and rivers is a bit chilly but warming, which has fish active, especially during the warmer hours of late morning and early afternoon. The past week saw good reports from several urban ponds and mountain reservoirs. Anglers on the Jordan River have landed steady numbers of carp and some nice catfish. At Willow Pond and Stonebridge Golf Club Pond, folks have pulled in rainbow trout and some bluegill, with kids having success on powerbait and nightcrawlers.<br /><br />If you want to cast farther afield, Twin Lakes Reservoir up in the Cottonwood Canyons remains a solid choice. It’s stocked with healthy Bonneville cutthroat trout and some rainbow trout, and the fish are hungry with the recent warming trend. Most were caught on small spinners, Panther Martin or Rooster Tails in gold or silver, as well as traditional worms and salmon eggs beneath a bobber. The action picks up just after the sun hits the water and again as evening settles in.<br /><br />In terms of bait, trout are hitting well on powerbait, worms, and salmon eggs. Artificial lures like small spinners and spoons are working great, especially in clear water. For bass and panfish, try small jigs or curly-tail grubs. Carp in the rivers are best targeted with dough balls or corn.<br /><br />Hot spots to try today include Willow Pond in Murray, which has plenty of bank access and is fishing well for trout, and the Jordan River near 9000 South, especially for those looking to hook into catfish or carp. For a classic Utah mountain experience, head up to Twin Lakes Reservoir for stunning views and a shot at cutthroat trout.<br /><br />That’s the scoop for today. Good luck, tight lines, and enjoy this perfect spring weather on the water.
