Questions people ask about Great Salt Lake
Answered from the same readings as the rest of this page. Where we have no basis for an answer, there is no entry — spot-by-spot local knowledge is not something we can claim for Great Salt Lake.
- Is it worth fishing Great Salt Lake today?
- 7 out of 10 — good. Solid window. Be on the water early. The strongest stretch is 3:20 AM–5:20 AM. That number is worked out fresh each morning from the solunar windows, the pressure trend, the water level.
- What time should you fish Great Salt Lake?
- Today's major windows run 3:20 AM–5:20 AM and 3:42 PM–5:42 PM, with minor windows at 10:05 AM–11:05 AM and 10:08 PM–11:08 PM. Sunrise is 6:26 AM and sunset 8:43 PM. A major landing on first or last light is the stretch worth setting an alarm for.
- What is the water temperature at Great Salt Lake?
- No gauge on Great Salt Lake measures water temperature. US reservoir gauges report height, not temperature — so rather than estimate it, this page leaves it out and leans on the windows and the pressure trend instead.
- What is the water level at Great Salt Lake right now?
- 4190.6 ft, read at 10:45 PM from USGS station 10010000. Over 24 hours it is down 0.10 ft.
- Can you eat the fish you catch in Great Salt Lake?
- That is a health question, and it is answered officially rather than by us. Utah Department of Environmental Quality publishes the fish consumption advisory covering these waters, where organised by contaminant and applying to named species and waters, with most Utah waters carrying no advisory at all. Read it before you keep a meal — we give no eating advice.
