For anglers in the Salt Lake City area, here’s a snapshot of what you can expect on November 22, 2024.

First, let's look at the basics: Sunrise is at 7:24 AM, and sunset will be at 6:54 PM. The weather is expected to be cool, especially in the early morning and late evening, which are typically the best times for fishing.

Fish activity has been moderate, with the most action happening during those early morning and late evening hours. Yesterday, anglers reported catching a mix of trout, bass, and catfish. Specifically, rainbow trout have been active in several local spots, including East Canyon State Park, where approximately 10,000 rainbow trout were recently planted[5].

For trout, powerbait has been effective, especially in depths around 35 feet. If you're targeting kokanee salmon, note that there is a statewide closure from September 10 through November 30, so you won't be able to possess any kokanee during this period[3].

In terms of specific hot spots, East Canyon State Park is a standout right now due to the recent trout stocking. Another good spot is the Jordanelle Reservoir, which has seen good activity for trout and other species.

For lures, small spinners and spoons are often effective for trout. For bait, nightcrawlers and powerbait are good choices. If you're after bass, soft plastics and crankbaits can be productive.

Overall, it's a good time to get out on the water, especially if you can make it during those early morning or late evening windows when fish are most active. Just remember to check the local fishing regulations and any updates on fish stocking and closures before you head out.
