I was just curious to what everyones favorite place to fish near SLC was? There are times I just want to leave the office and go fish, however I don't want to drive the 1-3 hrs I usually drive on a planned fishing trip. so whats the best Fishing near SLC, species doesn't matter.

I've always liked Big Cottonwood Canyon, either the creek or Silver Lake.

Jordan River.

However, if you prefer something without the taint of antifreeze I would say the Middle Provo or the Cottonwoods. There is also all of the various community ponds.

I'm not a fan of the fishing near SLC. I used to be able to fish the I-80 ponds but haven't gone down there in a while.... the nice bass seem to have been yanked out and replaced by rats and if I wanted those, I'd go to DC or something. I think if you're into bass fishing, Jordanelle is less than an hour away and thats pretty good stuff. I usually will drive just over an hour and get into some less pressured creeks and rivers or go to some bass honeyholes outside of town. 8)

I like Jordanelle a lot, and I am actually thinking of trying out East Canyon since it isn't very far away either, I don't know much about East Canyon though... :?

East canyon is great. One of my fav spots. It is better in the spring and early summer. Once it gets hot the waterskiers kinda mess up the fishin.
