Salt Lake City Fishing Report: Trout, Smallmouth, and Lure Recommendations for March 2025
Published 1 year, 1 month ago
Description
Hey there, fellow anglers! Artificial Lure here with your Salt Lake City fishing report for March 19, 2025. The weather's looking pretty decent today, with partly cloudy skies and temperatures reaching a high of 58°F. Sunrise was at 7:32 AM, and we're looking at sunset around 7:41 PM, giving us a solid 12 hours of daylight to wet our lines.
Now, let's talk fish. The trout bite has been heating up lately, especially in the Provo River. Anglers have been reporting good catches of rainbow and brown trout, with some nice cutthroats mixed in. The average size has been around 12-16 inches, but a few lucky folks have landed some bruisers in the 20-inch range.
For you lake fishermen, Jordanelle Reservoir has been producing some nice smallmouth bass. They're starting to move into shallower water as it warms up, so now's the time to target them. A few walleye have also been caught, mostly in the 15-18 inch range.
As for lures, the trusty curly tail grub on a jig head has been absolutely slaying it. White and chartreuse have been the hot colors. For the trout, small spinners like Panther Martins and Blue Fox have been working well. Don't forget about the good old nightcrawler either - they're still producing, especially when fished under a bobber.
If you're looking for some hot spots, I'd recommend hitting up the Middle Provo River, particularly around the Jordanelle Dam area. The fish have been stacked up there, feeding on midges and small mayflies. Another good bet is the Bountiful Pond - they've been stocking it regularly with rainbows, and I hear the bite has been pretty consistent.
Remember, folks, we're still in that transition period between winter and spring, so be prepared for changing conditions. Layer up, bring a variety of lures, and don't be afraid to switch things up if the fish aren't cooperating.
That's all for now, anglers. Get out there, enjoy the beautiful Utah scenery, and tight lines to ya!
