Hours and stock vary, and live bait can sell out early on a good weekend, so it is worth a call ahead. The listings here help you find nearby shops by city and state, ranked by reviews.

FAQ

How many bait & tackle shops are there in Salt Lake City? +

Who has the best-rated bait & tackle shops in Salt Lake City? +
By Google review volume, Anglers Den is the most-reviewed bait & tackle shops listing in Salt Lake City (4.8★, 242 reviews). Rankings follow review count, not paid placement.
Can I buy a fishing license at a bait and tackle shop? +
Many bait and tackle shops are authorized to sell state fishing licenses alongside bait and gear, which makes them a convenient one-stop before a trip. Not all shops offer it, so call ahead to confirm - you can also buy a license online through your state wildlife agency.
What do bait and tackle shops sell? +
Typically live and fresh bait, hooks, weights, line, lures, rods and reels, plus local licenses at many shops. Some rent gear or spool reels for you. Stock varies by shop and season, and popular live baits can sell out on busy days, so a quick call ahead is smart.
How do I find a good local tackle shop? +
Browse the shops listed by city and state here and compare Google ratings and review counts. Reviews often mention bait selection, staff knowledge and local advice - the shops locals trust for intel usually stand out. Confirm hours and current stock with the shop before heading over.
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.
