  • Résumé

  • Hello there, fellow anglers This is Artificial Lure, your go-to expert for all things fishing in and around Salt Lake City, Utah. As of today, February 5th, 2025, here’s what you need to know to make the most of your fishing trip.

    ### Weather and Conditions
    First off, let's talk about the weather. Today, you can expect cloudy skies with temperatures hovering around 39°F during the day and dipping down to 46°F at night. There's no rain forecasted for today, but be prepared for potential sleet later in the day[2][5].

    ### Sunrise and Sunset
    Sunrise is at about 7:30 AM, and sunset will be around 5:30 PM. These times are crucial for planning your fishing trip, especially if you're targeting specific hatch times.

    ### Fish Activity
    In the winter months, fish activity can be a bit slower, but there are still plenty of opportunities to catch some great fish. Recently, the Lower Provo River has been fishing well, especially in the afternoons. You can expect to see a solid midge hatch around midday, with trout rising to midges in the size 22-24 range. Nymphing with small midges and sow bugs has been very effective all day long[1].

    ### Types of Fish and Amounts
    The Lower Provo River is home to a healthy population of trout, with around 3000-4000 trout per mile. You can also find trout in other spots like Big Cottonwood Creek and the Jordan River Parkway. In these waters, you're likely to catch brown and rainbow trout, along with some catfish and bass in certain areas[1][3].

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For the Lower Provo River, stick with standard midge dry flies, especially those that mimic shucked up bugs. Nymphing with grey midges in sizes 20-24 and brown patterns in sizes 22-24 have been very successful. If you're fishing in Big Cottonwood Creek, try using smaller patterns in the size 24-26 range until the bigger bugs start hatching. Greys, blacks, and browns are good colors to use[1].

    ### Hot Spots
    If you're looking for some hot spots, I highly recommend checking out the Lower Provo River. The afternoons have been particularly good here, and the midge hatch is something you won't want to miss. Another great spot is Big Cottonwood Creek, nestled in Big Cottonwood Canyon. This creek offers a mountainous escape and is home to brown and rainbow trout. The clear waters and natural beauty make it a perfect spot for both beginners and experienced anglers[1][3].

    ### Additional Tips
    Given the cold weather, make sure to dress warmly and bring some hot coffee to keep you going throughout the day. Also, be mindful of the snow and ice conditions, especially if you're planning to fish in the higher elevations.

    That's all for today's report. Tight lines, and I hope you catch some big ones out there
