For anglers in the Salt Lake City area today, November 2, 2024, here’s what you can expect: Since Salt Lake City is not a coastal area, there are no tidal reports to consider. The weather is forecasted to be partly cloudy with a high of around 68 degrees Fahrenheit and a low of 48 degrees. Sunrise is at 7:24 AM, and sunset will be at 6:54 PM.

Fish activity has been moderate, particularly during the early morning and late evening hours when the water is cooler. Yesterday, anglers reported good catches of rainbow trout, tiger trout, and channel catfish from local lakes and reservoirs.

At Bountiful Pond in Davis County, anglers caught a variety of fish species. Recent stockings include 2501 rainbow trout on October 8 and 1000 rainbow trout on September 23, along with several batches of channel catfish.

Jordanelle Reservoir is another hot spot, where trout and white bass have been active. For targeting trout, using small jigs, spinners, or bait like powerbait and nightcrawlers has been effective. Tiger trout have been biting well on lures such as small spoons and flies. For channel catfish, nightcrawlers and chicken livers are good options.

Focus on using small midges, particularly in sizes 22-26, as they have been consistent in the Middle and Lower Provo Rivers. Additionally, lures like crankbaits, jerk baits, and top water baits can be productive for bass and other species.

Overall, it's a great time to get out and fish, especially with the cooler temperatures making fish more active. Enjoy your day on the water
