 Artificial Lure here with your Salt Lake City fishing report for Friday, June 20, 2025.

We’re waking up to classic June weather across the Salt Lake Valley—warm, clear mornings with daytime highs heading into the upper 80s. Sunrise hit at 5:56 a.m., and we’re looking at a sunset around 9:01 p.m., so there’s a solid window of prime fishing at first and last light. No tides to worry about—our local waters are fresh, not salty—but lake levels and flows are running high in the rivers, so be careful if you’re wading out, especially on the Provo and Weber Rivers.

Fish activity is hot across both stocked community ponds and nearby rivers. According to Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, recent stockings went into Fairmont Park's pond in Salt Lake City (250 healthy rainbows on June 4, and 563 channel cats just a day after). These fish are active and hungry, so you’re in for steady action. Out at Utah Lake, a 24-pound channel catfish was landed this week, showing the cats are in feeding mode, especially in the evening and nighttime hours—so bring sturdy gear if you’re targeting the big ones.

On the major rivers, the Middle Provo is running at 612 CFS out of Jordanelle and 505 CFS below Deer Creek, which means it’s pushy but fishable if you stay on the edges. Summer hatches are ramping up, with green drakes and stoneflies showing, so expect excellent morning and evening feeding windows. Rainbows and browns are active—just keep an eye out for spawning areas and respect redds.

For best results right now, throw streamers like olive or black woolly buggers, balanced leeches, and chironomids in the early and late hours at local reservoirs. At the ponds, try simple nightcrawlers or PowerBait for rainbows, and chicken livers or stink baits for the channel cats. On the Provo and Weber, a mix of nymphs—try pheasant tails or hare’s ears under an indicator—and small terrestrials will bring steady action, especially around sunrise.

Hot spots this week:
- Fairmont Park Pond: Easy access, lots of recent stocks, perfect for taking kids or trying for an after-work bite.
- Middle Provo River: Streamer and nymph fishing is strong, with flows dropping into better shape for wading and edge fishing. Early or late is best.
- Utah Lake Marina: Nighttime is prime for big channel cats—try cut bait or chicken liver.

That wraps it up for today. Thanks for tuning in—don’t forget to subscribe for your daily dose of local fishing insight. This has been a Quiet Please production, for more check out quietplease dot ai.
