For anglers in the Salt Lake City area today, November 8, 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 68 degrees Fahrenheit and a low of 48 degrees. Sunrise is at 7:24 AM, and sunset will be at 6:54 PM. Fish activity has been moderate, particularly 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. Recent stockings at Bountiful Pond include 2501 rainbow trout on October 8 and several batches of channel catfish.

Jordanelle Reservoir is 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 those targeting the Provo River, the flows are currently around 160 CFS out of Jordanelle Reservoir and 126 CFS at River Road. Focus on river structures like rocks, log jams, and foam lines, as fish tend to be in the deeper, faster oxygenated water.

Remember, the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources reminds everyone not to introduce non-native fish species into local waterbodies, as this can be harmful to the ecosystem. Enjoy your fishing trip and respect the local environment.
