Fall Fishing Forecast for Salt Lake City: Excellent Trout Bites on Provo River
Published 1 year, 6 months ago
Description
For October 12, 2024, in the Salt Lake City area, here’s what you can expect for your fishing trip:
### Weather and Time
Today, the weather in Salt Lake City is expected to be partly cloudy with a high of around 68 degrees Fahrenheit and a low of 48 degrees. Sunrise is at 7:43 AM, and sunset will be at 6:33 PM. There is no tidal report to consider, as we are dealing with freshwater lakes and rivers.
### Fish Activity
Fishing has been excellent in the past week, and it's expected to continue improving as we head into fall. In the Middle Provo River and Lower Provo River, both known for their exceptional fishing, trout activity has been robust. For the Middle Provo River, nymphing small midges in sizes 24-26, particularly in grey and black, has been very effective. The Buffalo Midge hatch, which starts around 12:30 PM, has been excellent, with brown and black shuckers working well.
### Fish Caught
Recently, anglers have been catching a good number of cutthroat trout and lake trout. In the Provo Rivers, the catch includes a mix of rainbow trout, brown trout, and cutthroat trout. For example, at the Middle Provo River, small grey midge patterns have been successful, while at the Lower Provo River, midges and sow bugs in sizes 22-24 have been productive.
### Best Lures and Bait
For the Provo Rivers, using small midge patterns, both nymphs and dry flies, is highly recommended. Specifically, grey and black midges in sizes 24-26 are effective. Additionally, white tube jigs tipped with a worm have been successful in other local waters.
### Hot Spots
Two hot spots to consider are the Middle Provo River and the Lower Provo River. The Green Gate area and the Bunny Farm area on the Middle Provo River have been particularly good. On the Lower Provo River, focus on areas with sow bugs and midges, such as around the deeper docks and other structure.
Overall, with the fall season in full swing, the fishing conditions in the Salt Lake City area are ideal. Make sure to check the local fishing regulations and enjoy the beautiful fall weather while reeling in some great catches.
