About this episode

The episode provides a detailed fishing report for Salt Lake City, highlighting optimal conditions for trout and bass fishing.

Hey folks, this is **Artificial Lure** comin' at ya with your Salt Lake City fishing report for Saturday, April 25th, 2026, right at 3 AM mountain time. Weather's lookin' prime out here in the valley—clear skies, light winds around 5-10 mph from the northwest, temps startin' in the low 40s climbin' to a comfy high of 62°F by afternoon, per the National Weather Service forecast. No tides to worry about in our freshwater spots, but moon's in a waxin' gibbous phase, prime for solunar bites around dawn and dusk, says Fishing Reminder data. Sunrise hits at 6:45 AM, sunset at 8:10 PM, givin' us a solid 13+ hours of light to chase 'em. Fish activity's rampin' up with water temps pushin' upper 50s in the lakes—trout and bass are active, especially early and late. Recent reports from Utah DWR and local angler forums show solid catches: rainbow trout hammerin' Jordanelle Reservoir with limits of 12-18 inchers, brown trout stackin' up in the Provo River tailwater, and smallmouth bass on Deer Creek pullin' 2-4 pounders from rocky points. Crappie and bluegill are post-spawn but still bitin' good offshore on brush piles—folks reportin' dozens per trip usin' minnows or jigs, echoin' those…
