Bay Mike Inlet (British Columbia) — a spot well known among anglers. About 1.8 km² in area. A coastal water: the bite here is modelled for the sea, not for a river or a lake. This page shows an hourly bite forecast for today and the week ahead; the algorithm factors in the weather, atmospheric pressure, and the moon phase.
Thursday, September 3
In the fish list, this icon marks species recorded here by GBIF. Unmarked species may still occur in the waterbody.
The bite is strong — fish are active. Pressure is dropping — this usually boosts the bite.
Best time — 07:00–08:00 (dawn bite) and 20:00–22:00 (dusk bite).
Look for structure — reefs, flats, channel edges; work them slowly near the bottom. The water's cold — fish it more delicately and slowly.
The water's turning murky — go with bright, noisy lures: spinner or small crankbait. The water's cold — work the lure slower than usual.
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.
Worth going — it's a productive day.
The computed water temperature is around 7 °C — inside the 6–17 °C comfort range for Brown trout, so baseline activity is high.
Brown trout works the twilight: the peaks are pinned to sunrise and sunset — their times are in the sun-and-moon card above.
Pressure is rising 6 hPa over the day — the bite usually settles down after a rise.
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.
September is peak season for Brown trout here.
These are the same values the bite curve above was computed from. How the forecast works

The day is 4 min shorter than yesterday.
Sunshine hours count direct sun only — cloud cover cuts it, so it is shorter than daylight.
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.
