Coquihalla River (British Columbia) — a popular fishing spot. About 60 km long. A smart bite calendar — moon phase, atmospheric pressure, and weather combined into an hourly fish-activity forecast for the coming days.
Other nearby waters
The course is moderately sinuous: pools are scoured at the bends and riffles run between them.

Green check: this species was recorded here by GBIF. Species without a check may still occur in the waterbody.
Work the cover — snags, weed edges, hole entrances; retrieve the lure with pauses. The water's cold — fish it more delicately and slowly.
Coquihalla River — Tuesday, November 3
The bite is moderate — fish feed in short bursts. Weather is steady, with no sharp swings — fish behave predictably. Peak 07:00–09:00 and 17:00–19:00.
The computed water temperature is around 2 °C — colder than the 14–24 °C comfort range for Black crappie: the fish conserves energy and takes more cautiously.
Going by this year's frosts the ice is about 7 cm — thin and dangerous to walk on. This is an estimate from the weather across the whole region, not a measurement on your water.
Black crappie works the twilight: the peaks are pinned to sunrise and sunset — their times are in the sun-and-moon card above.
Pressure is dropping 2 hPa over the day — fish are usually more active ahead of a weather change.
One more input — the moon's feeding windows: within their hours the score sits higher than across the rest of the day. The window times are in the “Solunar feeding periods” card below.
November is an active season for Black crappie here.
These are the same values the bite curve above was computed from. How the forecast works
Cloudy · feels like -3°
The day is 3 min shorter than yesterday.
Sunshine hours count direct sun only — cloud cover cuts it, so it is shorter than daylight.
Geomagnetic fieldquiet, Kp 2
Kp index — NOAA forecast. 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.
What are solunar periods?Green check: this species was recorded here by GBIF. Species without a check may still occur in the waterbody.
Blue check: this species appears as a catch in reports for this waterbody.
