For anglers in the Salt Lake City area today, October 31, 2024, here’s what you can expect: Since Salt Lake City is not a coastal area, there are no tidal reports to consider.

The weather is forecasted to be partly cloudy with a high of around 55 degrees Fahrenheit and a low of 37 degrees. Sunrise is at 7:28 AM, and sunset will be at 6:53 PM.

Fish activity has been moderate, especially during the early morning and late evening hours when the water is cooler. Yesterday, anglers reported good catches of rainbow trout, tiger trout, and channel catfish from local lakes and reservoirs.

At Bountiful Pond in Davis County, anglers caught a variety of fish species, including rainbow trout and channel catfish. Jordanelle Reservoir was another hot spot, with reports of white bass and trout being caught.

For targeting trout, using small jigs, spinners, or bait like powerbait and nightcrawlers has been effective. Tiger trout have been biting well on lures such as small spoons and flies. For fly fishing, midge patterns, caddis larvae, and Blue Winged Olive (BWO) emergers are highly recommended.

Bountiful Pond recently received a stocking of 2,501 rainbow trout on October 8, making it an excellent spot to try your luck. Highland Glen Park Pond is another location where these baits have been yielding good results.

Overall, the cooler morning and evening hours are your best bet for catching fish, so plan your trip accordingly and use the right lures and bait to increase your chances of a successful day on the water.
