Fishing Piers in Salt Lake City

4 listings · ranked by rating & reviews · updated 2026

Fishing piers are among the easiest ways to get on the water without a boat - a stable platform out over the surf or a bay, often with railings, benches, lights for night fishing and a bait shop nearby. Many public piers are free to walk and fish, while some municipal and private piers charge a modest daily fishing fee, and a state saltwater or freshwater license may still be required depending on the pier and state. They are a favorite for families and beginners because the access is simple and you can catch a real variety of species right from the deck. The listings here help you find piers by city and state, with what to expect on arrival.

FAQ

Fishing Piers in Salt Lake City - common questions

How many fishing piers are there in Salt Lake City? +
Lure Compass lists 4 listings for fishing piers in Salt Lake City, UT.
Who has the best-rated fishing piers in Salt Lake City? +
By Google review volume, Mabey Pond Fishing Dock is the most-reviewed fishing piers listing in Salt Lake City (4★, 147 reviews). Rankings follow review count, not paid placement.
Do you need a license to fish off a pier? +
It depends on the pier and the state. Some public piers operate under a blanket license that covers everyone fishing from them, while at others each angler needs their own state license. Check the pier operator or your state wildlife agency for the specific rule before you fish.
Are fishing piers free? +
Many public piers are free to fish, but some municipal and privately run piers charge a daily fishing fee, and there may be a separate parking cost. Fees, hours and any license requirement vary by location - confirm with the pier before you go.
What can you catch from a fishing pier? +
That varies by region and season, and pier regulars are usually happy to share what is biting. Reviews and listings here can point you to well-reviewed piers by city and state, but the pier operator or a nearby bait shop is your best source for current conditions and what is running.
How much does a fishing guide cost in Salt Lake City? +
Guided trips out of Salt Lake City run about $400-$650. A half-day wade trip on the Provo is at the lower end, while a full-day float or a trip up to Strawberry Reservoir costs more. Rates are usually per boat for up to two anglers, so sharing brings the per-person price down. Confirm inclusions and license details with your guide.
What is the cicada hatch on the Provo River? +
In late spring and early summer, cicadas emerge along the Provo and get blown onto the water, triggering some of the year's best dry-fly fishing. Big brown trout that usually stay deep will smash these oversized terrestrials off the surface.
Can you catch salmon near Salt Lake City? +
Yes. Strawberry Reservoir holds kokanee salmon along with trophy cutthroat trout. The rivers themselves are trout fisheries, with the Provo and Weber holding wild brown and rainbow trout.
Do I need waders for a Provo River trip? +
For wade trips, waders are strongly recommended and most guides provide them along with rods and flies. You will also need a Utah fishing license, which the guide can help you sort out before you head to the water.
