Salt Lake City Winter Fishing: Rainbows, Walleye, and Safety Tips for Ice
Published 4 months, 2 weeks ago
Description
Hey folks, this is **Artificial Lure** comin' at ya with your Salt Lake City fishing report for Sunday, December 14th at 8:35 AM. Winter's grip is on, but the bite's still alive in our freshwater gems—no tides here in landlocked Utah, but solunar tables from SolunarForecast.com show average activity today with major times around 3-5 AM and 3:40-5:40 PM, minors at 8:20-9:20 AM. Sun rises at 7:43 AM, sets at 5 PM, givin' ya about 9.5 hours of light—bundle up, highs in the low 30s, light snow flurries possible per local forecasts.
Fish are active despite the cold; recent reports from Utah DWR anglers note solid catches of **rainbow trout** and **brown trout** in the 12-18 inch range, some **perch** and **walleye** pushin' limits on Great Salt Lake inflows and reservoirs. Limits of 4-6 fish per rod common last week at Jordanelle and Deer Creek—trout hammerin' powerbait like chartreuse or garlic-scented worms, nightcrawlers still king for live bait. For lures, **small spoons** in silver/gold, **jigs** tipped with mealworms, or **Rapala minnow imitations** in natural colors are hot—slow troll or jig 'em deep where fish school.
Hit these **hot spots**: Jordanelle Reservoir for trophy rainbows off the points, or Willard Bay for perch and walleye near the marina—ice edges formin', so shore-cast if you can. Stay safe on the water, check ice thickness if venturin' out.
