 Artificial Lure here with your Salt Lake City fishing report for Wednesday, June 18, 2025.

Clear skies and summertime temps are in full swing around the Salt Lake valley today. This morning’s sunrise clocked in at 5:56 a.m., with sunset coming at 9:00 p.m., giving anglers plenty of daylight. Winds are forecast light and variable, and high temperatures will push into the low 90s, but expect things to cool off fast after dusk—classic summer patterns for our Northern Utah fisheries.

Tidal influences aren’t a concern here in the Salt Lake area’s lakes and rivers, so focus instead on water temps, clarity, and flow. According to recent updates from Utah Fish Reports, fish activity is still robust this week. Warmwater species are hitting their stride. Utah Lake just produced a monster 24-pound channel catfish last week, and catfish action continues to be hot. Largemouth bass are staging along weed lines and submerged structure, with folks reporting solid catches on spinnerbaits, soft plastics, and even topwater frogs at dawn and dusk. Utah Lake’s white bass bite is slowing but still productive if you find active schools near the river mouths and marinas.

Rainbow trout are holding in deeper, cooler water at places like Farmington City Reservoir, where the Division of Wildlife Resources just stocked another 255 rainbows over 14 inches this spring. Early mornings and late evenings are best. Try in-line spinners or pink PowerBait off the bottom. For fly anglers, the Provo and Weber rivers are flowing high but fishable—watch your step and target the edges and slower pockets. Recent hatches of Green Drakes and stoneflies are bringing hungry browns and rainbows up. Tie on a big dry or prospect with a balanced leech under an indicator, especially at first and last light.

Hot spots to hit today:
- Utah Lake, especially the Lindon Marina and American Fork boat harbor, for big channel cats and bass. Night crawlers and cut bait are the ticket for cats; white or chartreuse spinnerbaits for bass.
- Provo River below Deer Creek, casting stonefly nymphs or swinging small streamers.
- Farmington City Reservoir for easy-access trout and the chance for a surprise channel cat—try PowerBait or a chunk of worm near the inlet.
- Strawberry Reservoir is producing fat rainbows on trolled spoons and bait rigs, though it’s an hour’s drive from town.

If you’re fishing community ponds around Salt Lake, most have been recently stocked with trout and catfish. Chartreuse dough baits, worms, and small Panther Martin spinners are working well for bank anglers.
