  • 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 step into the last day of January 2025, the fishing scene here is as vibrant as ever, despite the chilly winter weather.

    First off, let's talk about the weather. Today, January 31, 2025, you can expect crisp and clear skies with temperatures hovering around 19°F, typical for late January. Sunrise was at 8:18 AM, and sunset will be at 3:33 PM, giving you a decent window to get out on the water.

    Since Salt Lake City is a landlocked area, there are no tidal reports to worry about, making your planning a bit simpler. The cold weather might slow down fish activity slightly, but there are still plenty of opportunities to catch some great fish.

    Recently, anglers have been having a lot of success at spots like the Jordan River Parkway and Sugarhouse Park Pond. At the Jordan River Parkway, you can expect to catch a mix of trout and bass, with rainbow trout being the most common catch. In Sugarhouse Park Pond, the stocked rainbow trout and catfish have been the main attractions. Yesterday, anglers reported catching several rainbow trout, some reaching up to 12 inches in length, and a few smallmouth bass around 8-10 inches.

    For today, if you're targeting trout in the Jordan River Parkway, small spinners and flies are your best bet. For the ponds like Sugarhouse Park Pond, using bait such as nightcrawlers or powerbait can yield good results for both trout and catfish. Given the cold weather, smaller, more subtle presentations like small jigs, nymphs, and streamers can also be effective for trout.

    If you're looking for some hot spots, I highly recommend heading to Big Cottonwood Creek in Big Cottonwood Canyon. This creek is known for its clear waters and abundant brown and rainbow trout. Another great option is Little Dell Reservoir in Emigration Canyon, where you can target trout and kokanee salmon. Both of these spots offer a serene and picturesque setting that's hard to beat.

    Remember to check the new fishing regulations for 2025, which include changes such as spearfishing now being allowed for white bass and northern pike at Utah Lake and its tributaries, and new catch limits and release requirements for various species.

    Overall, it's shaping up to be a great day for fishing in Salt Lake City, with plenty of opportunities to catch a variety of fish species in the area's scenic and accessible waterbodies. So grab your gear, bundle up, and get out there to enjoy the winter fishing experience that Salt Lake City has to offer. Happy fishing
