Published 1 year, 7 months ago
Description
For those heading out to fish around Salt Lake City on September 28, 2024, here’s what you need to know:
### Weather and Time
The weather is expected to be partly cloudy with a high of around 75°F and a low of 55°F. Sunrise is at 7:24 AM, and sunset will be at 7:14 PM.
### Fish Activity

### Fish Stocking and Catches
Recently, several local waters have been stocked with rainbow trout. For example, Bartholomew Park Pond received 1100 rainbow trout on September 17, 2024.
### Best Lures and Bait
For rainbow trout, using power bait, spinner baits, and small spoons has been effective. Channel catfish are biting well on nightcrawlers and chicken livers. White bass are active early and late in the day, and using shad-imitating baits or trolling at depths of 8 to 12 feet can yield good results.
### Hot Spots
- **Utah Lake**: This is a great spot for catching white bass and northern pike. Spearfishing opportunities for white bass are also available here, including in its tributaries like American Fork Creek and Spanish Fork River.
- **Jordanelle Reservoir**: Known for its common carp, Jordanelle is now open to spearfishing for this species. It’s also a good spot for catching trout and other game fish.
### Additional Notes

With the cooler weather setting in, fishing conditions are improving, so it's a great time to get out on the water and enjoy some fishing in the Salt Lake City area.
