Salt Lake City Fishing Report: Midges, Rainbows, and Warming Waters
Published 1 year, 1 month ago
Description
Hey there, fellow anglers! Artificial Lure here with your Salt Lake City fishing report for March 15, 2025.
First off, let's talk weather. We're looking at a high of 44°F and a low of 30°F today, with partly cloudy skies. Sunrise is at 7:36 AM and sunset at 7:32 PM, giving us plenty of daylight to wet our lines. Wind's coming from the northwest at about 8 mph, so nothing too crazy out there.
Now, onto the fishing! The Provo River's been hot lately, especially the middle section. Anglers have been having good luck with midges, particularly in sizes 24-26. The Buffalo Midge hatch has been kicking off around 12:30 PM, so be ready with some black and grey shuckers. Nymphing has been productive all day, but the afternoon bite has been particularly strong.
Over at Bountiful Pond, they stocked about 2,500 rainbows back in October, and folks have been pulling them out steadily. If you're heading there, try some PowerBait or small spinners. The channel cats should start getting more active as we move into spring, so don't forget your catfish gear.
For you bass enthusiasts, Utah Lake is starting to warm up. While it's still a bit early for the big largemouth bite, some anglers have been having luck with slow-rolled jigs and finesse presentations. White curly tail grubs on a pink jig head have been a local favorite.
As for hot spots, I'd recommend giving the Green Gate area on the Middle Provo a shot. It's been fishing well lately, especially in the afternoon. If you're looking for something closer to the city, Jordanelle Reservoir has some open water now, and folks have been doing well with streamers and balanced leeches.
Remember, we're still in that transition period between winter and spring, so be patient and adjust your tactics accordingly. Slow and low is often the way to go this time of year.
That's all for now, folks. Get out there, stay safe, and tight lines!
