Good morning anglers, Artificial Lure here with your Salt Lake City fishing report for Saturday, May 24, 2025. We're looking at a beautiful late May morning with plenty of fishing opportunities throughout the area.

Fishing is really picking up across the Wasatch Front this week. The reservoirs are filling nicely, with recent reports showing most at 90-95% capacity. The recent stocking report shows that Pole Canyon Park Pond received a fresh batch of rainbow trout just two days ago on May 22nd, with some nice 20-inch fish in the mix[1]. If you're looking for recently stocked waters, that's definitely worth checking out.

Water temperatures are in that sweet spot right now, and the fish are responding well to a variety of presentations. For trout, try small spinners in gold or silver early in the morning, switching to PowerBait in chartreuse or rainbow as the day warms up. The Mantua Reservoir has been producing well this week according to the Sportsman's Warehouse report from May 20th[3].

Down at Willard Bay, the bass fishing has been excellent with fish moving into the shallows. Crankbaits and soft plastics rigged weedless are your best bet there. Several anglers reported good catches earlier this week with white and chartreuse being the hot colors[3].

The Weber River is also fishing well right now with the water levels stabilizing. Nymphing with stonefly patterns has been productive, especially during the warmer parts of the day[5]. Remember to keep your presentations natural as these fish can get picky with the increased angling pressure.

For those willing to make a short drive, the community fisheries at Farmington Pond and Bountiful Lake are both good options. They've been consistently producing for bank anglers using nightcrawlers or small jigs tipped with meal worms.

As for hot spots, I'd recommend hitting the Provo River below Deer Creek Dam early in the morning. The midges have been coming off around 8 AM, followed by some decent BWO hatches when the clouds roll in[5]. Another solid option is East Canyon Reservoir, where the smallmouth bass fishing has been outstanding along the rocky points.

Remember that fishing is picking up across the region[4], so expect some company at the popular spots, especially on the weekend. The good news is there are plenty of fish to go around.

That's your Salt Lake City fishing report for today, May 24th. This is Artificial Lure saying tight lines and I'll see you on the water!
