Urban Fishing in Salt Lake City: Trout, Bass, and Catfish in the Cold

  • 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 we wrap up the last day of January 2025, I've got some exciting updates for you.

    First off, let's talk about the weather. Today, January 30th, the temperatures in Salt Lake City are quite chilly, ranging from around 2°F to 32°F. It's been a misty day, which can sometimes make the fish a bit more active. Sunrise was at 7:55 AM, and we're expecting sunset at about 5:02 PM, giving us a decent window to get out there and catch some fish.

    Since Salt Lake City is landlocked, we don't have to worry about tidal reports, but we do need to keep an eye on water levels in reservoirs and lakes, which can fluctuate due to snowmelt and water management.

    Fish activity has been steady despite the cold weather. In urban areas like the Jordan River Parkway and Sugarhouse Park Pond, anglers have been having some success. The Jordan River Parkway, flowing right through the heart of Salt Lake City, is home to trout and bass. Recently, anglers have caught smallmouth bass around 8-10 inches in length here. Sugarhouse Park Pond, which is regularly stocked with rainbow trout and catfish, has seen catches of rainbow trout up to 12 inches.

    For the best results, I recommend using small artificial lures such as spinners, spoons, or flies for trout. These slower presentations and smaller lures tend to attract more bites in the colder waters. For catfish, nightcrawlers or stink baits are your best bet.

    Now, let's talk about some hot spots. If you're looking for a family-friendly spot within the city, Sugarhouse Park Pond is an excellent choice. It offers easy shoreline access and is regularly stocked with rainbow trout and catfish. Another great spot is the Jordan River Parkway, which provides multiple access points and a scenic urban fishing experience with a variety of fish species.

    In summary, despite the chilly January weather, Salt Lake City's urban oases are still offering some great fishing opportunities. Grab your gear, bundle up, and head out to Sugarhouse Park Pond or the Jordan River Parkway for a chance to catch some trout or bass. Remember to check the new 2025-2026 fishing regulations, as there have been some changes to spearfishing rules and catch limits.

    Happy fishing, and I'll see you on the water
