    What is a bite calendar?

    Hourly activity

    0:006:0012:0018:0023:00
    Bite activity:highmediumlow

    The bite is moderate — fish feed in short bursts. Pressure is rising — activity tends to be more subdued.

    Peak bite hours

    Best time — 07:00–09:00 (dawn bite) and 20:00–22:00 (dusk bite).

    Tactics

    Pick a stretch of steady current, chum one spot and fish it — don't move around without reason. The water's cold — fish it more delicately and slowly.

    Lures

    Today's bait — jig fly with bloodworm or small fly. In cold or murky water, add scent to your chum.

    Gear

    Bring a warm jacket — it's noticeably colder on the water than on shore. Rain is expected — don't forget a rain jacket or a waterproof shell.

    Summary

    An average day — best chances during peak windows.

    Why this forecast

    The computed water temperature is around 7 °C — inside the 2–14 °C comfort range for Whitefish, so baseline activity is high.

    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.
