Alberta — Tuesday, October 20
The bite is weak — fish are sluggish. Pressure is rising — activity tends to be more subdued. Peak 00:00–04:00.
The computed water temperature is around 3 °C — inside the 0–8 °C comfort range for Burbot, so baseline activity is high.
Going by this year's frosts the ice hasn't formed yet: the season says it should have, but it hasn't been cold enough. This is an estimate from the weather across the whole region, not a measurement on your water.
Burbot feeds at night: the peak falls in the dark hours, between sunset and sunrise.
Pressure is rising 4 hPa over the day — the bite usually settles down after a rise.
October is a slow season for Burbot: the best months fall at another time of year.
These are the same values the bite curve above was computed from. How the forecast works
Clear · feels like -4°
The day is 4 min shorter than yesterday.
Sunshine hours count direct sun only — cloud cover cuts it, so it is shorter than daylight.
Geomagnetic fieldG1 geomagnetic storm, Kp 4.7
Kp index — NOAA data. Not part of the bite score: catches show no link between geomagnetic storms and the bite.
The windows are set by the moon's transit and rise, and the forecast above already accounts for them: within these hours the bite score sits higher than across the rest of the day, while the day's overall level still comes from the catch-calibrated model.
