Lake Frogmoore Lakes (British Columbia) — one of the area's fishing spots. About 49 ha in area. 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 shoreline is moderately indented: bays and points alternate with even stretches. Larger than 18 of the 20 waters nearby.
The wind builds its wave along the north-west — south-east axis — 2 km of open water; along north-east — south-west there is only 0.6 km. When it runs down the main axis, the calm water sits against the bank it blows from, while the wave and the silt go to the far one — and the fish follow them there to feed.
Tuesday, November 3
Green check: this species was recorded here by GBIF. Species without a check may still occur in the waterbody.
Hunt with holes: drill a line of them along the drop-off and work each for a few minutes — on ice the angler who moves is the one who finds fish.
Frogmoore Lakes — Tuesday, November 3
The bite is strong — fish are active. 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 15 cm — solid, but noticeably thinner near current, reeds and springs. 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.
