Logan, Utah sits at the heart of Cache Valley, offering anglers access to a variety of rivers, reservoirs, and marinas with diverse fishing opportunities throughout late summer and early fall.
Weekly Catches
The catches below cover the last 7 days.
Trout
Fishing for trout in the Logan River has slowed down slightly as warmer weather pushes fish into deeper pockets. Anglers targeting these deeper areas may still find success, especially during cooler morning and evening hours. The river remains a reliable spot for those seeking rainbow trout and other native species, though patience and strategic location are key.
- Best results reported in deeper pools and shaded stretches.
- Fly fishermen have found success with perdigon nymphs in light or dark green.
Bass
Bass fishing is picking up across several local reservoirs near Logan. At Pineview Reservoir, smallmouth bass are active around rocky areas, and anglers are finding success with tube jigs, ned rigs, and jerk baits. Newton Reservoir is also seeing increased bass activity, with fish moving into shallower water as temperatures rise.
- Effective baits: tube jigs, ned rigs, jerk baits, crankbaits, spinnerbaits, and soft plastics.
- Hotspots: Rocky shorelines and shallow flats.
Catfish
Catfishing at Benson Marina has steadily improved and is expected to get even better as summer progresses. Anglers are reporting good catches using cutbait and livebait, with fish becoming more active in the warmer water.
- Recommended baits: cutbait, livebait, and stinkbait.
- Best times: Late afternoon and evening.
Panfish & Crappie
Panfish, including crappie, are moving into shallower areas at Pineview Reservoir and Mantua Reservoir. Crappie anglers are advised to top their lures with crappie nipples for increased success. As water temperatures continue to rise, expect panfish to remain close to shorelines and structure.
- Effective lures: soft plastics, crappie nipples, and small jigs.
- Hotspots: Shallow coves and weed beds.
Tiger Muskie
Tiger muskie are becoming more active at Pineview Reservoir and Newton Reservoir, moving into shallower water as temperatures climb. Anglers targeting these aggressive predators should use slow-moving presentations and larger lures.
- Recommended lures: crankbaits, spinnerbaits, wacky rigs, and crawfish imitations.
- Focus on: Shallow flats and submerged structure.
Fly Fishing
Fly fishermen on the Logan River and nearby streams are reporting success with perdigon nymphs, especially in green shades. Streamers such as woolly buggers and sculpin patterns are also producing results, particularly in deeper runs and pockets.
- Effective patterns: perdigon nymphs, woolly buggers, sculpin streamers.
- Best times: Early morning and late evening.
Weather & Marine Conditions
Late summer in Logan has brought warmer temperatures, which are influencing fish behavior across local waters. Trout are seeking deeper, cooler areas, while bass, panfish, and catfish are becoming more active in shallower zones. Water levels are generally stable, but some rivers may see increased flow due to snowmelt and runoff, especially in the early mornings.
Fishing Conditions & Tips
With fish moving in response to rising water temperatures, anglers should adjust their tactics accordingly. For trout, focus on deeper pools and shaded stretches during midday heat. Bass and panfish are best targeted in the shallows with slow-moving soft plastics and natural-colored lures. Fly anglers should consider using nymphs and streamers in deeper runs, switching to dry flies or terrestrials during hatch periods. Catfish are most active in the evenings; use strong-scented baits for best results.
- Slow down retrieves and presentations for less active fish.
- Use natural colors and scent attractants for increased bites.
- Target structure, such as rocks, weed beds, and submerged logs.
Regulations & Notices
Anglers fishing the Logan River should review special regulations in the current Utah Fishing Guidebook, as certain stretches may have unique rules regarding limits and tackle. Statewide daily limits remain in effect for most species, but emergency changes have been enacted at select reservoirs outside Logan due to drought and repair work. Always check the latest regulations before heading out, especially if fishing multiple waterbodies in the region.
- Review special regulations for the Logan River before fishing.
- Statewide daily limits apply unless otherwise posted.
