River Forteau Brook (Newfoundland and Labrador) — one of the area's fishing spots. About 13 km long. 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.
Newfoundland and Labrador: the months when each species peaks and when it goes quiet. The current month is outlined.

Wednesday, October 21
Work the cover — snags, weed edges, hole entrances; retrieve the lure with pauses. The water's cold — fish it more delicately and slowly.
Forteau Brook — Wednesday, October 21
The bite is strong — fish are active. Pressure is rising — activity tends to be more subdued. Peak 08:00–09:00 and 18:00–19:00.
The computed water temperature is around 4 °C — inside the 1–10 °C comfort range for Arctic char, so baseline activity is high.
Arctic char works the twilight: the peaks are pinned to sunrise and sunset — their times are in the sun-and-moon card above.
Pressure is dropping 13 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.
October is an active season for Arctic char here.
These are the same values the bite curve above was computed from. How the forecast works
Partly cloudy · feels like 0°
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 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.

The bite is strong — fish are active. Pressure is rising — activity tends to be more subdued. Peak 08:00–09:00 and 18:00–19:00.
The course is moderately sinuous: pools are scoured at the bends and riffles run between them.
