# Artificial Lure's Salt Lake City Fishing Report
Well, folks, it's another crisp December morning out here in the Beehive State, and let me tell you—the fishing's been calling my name all week. I'm Artificial Lure, and here's what you need to know if you're heading out on the water today around Salt Lake City.
First things first: sunrise was at 7:10 AM this morning, and we're looking at sunset around 7:52 PM, so you've got a solid ten-and-a-half hours of daylight to work with. The water temps are definitely cooling down—classic winter conditions that get the fish more aggressive.
Now, here's where it gets interesting. According to the Solunar Forecast data for the 84150 zip code, we're sitting in some seriously prime fishing windows right now. Your major feeding times are hitting hard from 3:08 AM to 5:08 AM and again from 3:38 PM to 5:38 PM. If you can swing the evening window, that's your golden ticket. The moon's sitting at about 15 percent waxing crescent, which means moderate activity across the board.
This time of year in Salt Lake, we're primarily targeting walleye and cutthroat trout in the local waters. You'll want to throw some tube jigs in natural colors—smoke, green pumpkin, and pearl are money right now. Soft plastics work beautifully when the water's this cold. If you're a live bait guy, small shiners and minnows will get the job done, or go old school with some worms and crawlers.
I'd recommend hitting either the Jordan River near the city or heading up to Deer Creek Reservoir if you've got the drive time. The Jordan's accessible year-round and holds some solid fish even in winter. Deer Creek's your power move if conditions cooperate—deeper water means more consistent winter action.
Bundle up out there, because December doesn't mess around. The fishing's worth it.
