Jordanelle Reservoir Fishing Report: Trout, Crappie, and Bass Biting on Artificial Lures
Published 4 months, 4 weeks ago
Description
# Artificial Lure's Daily Fishing Report – December 3rd, 2025
Hey folks, this is Artificial Lure coming to you with today's fishing report for the Salt Lake City area.
We're looking at some solid conditions out on the water today. The weather's crisp this early December morning – typical for Utah – so bundle up if you're heading out. Sunrise was around 7:30 this morning, and you've got until about 4:45 PM before things get dark, so make your time on the water count.
Over at **Jordanelle Reservoir**, conditions are looking pretty promising right now. The water temperature's sitting at 57 degrees with the lake at about 65.72% capacity. Shore anglers have been reporting fair to good rainbow trout catches, especially when using garlic or corn-scented trout dough bait. If you're on a boat or kayak, try targeting that 15 to 25-foot water column with white or chartreuse tube jigs and marabou jigs – that's been working well for both trout and crappie. Trolling with Jakes Spin-A-Lure, Thomas Speedy Shiner, or Rapala Original lures will get you connected to fish. Smallmouth and largemouth bass are biting good too – soft plastic worms and Texas rigs are your friends right now. Keep in mind the wedge docks are still available, but Rock Cliff and courtesy docks are out of the water for the season.
A couple things to remember: you've got a limit of four trout of any kind, six bass regardless of size, and 50 yellow perch. And watch for debris during the spring runoff season.
