Suggitt Lake (Northwest Territories) — a spot well known among anglers. About 7.5 km² in area. Here you'll find a bite prediction — when fish are active and which hours give the best chances, adjusted for weather and pressure.
Partly cloudy: 1–9 °C
Wednesday, September 2
The bite is strong — fish are active. Weather is steady, with no sharp swings — fish behave predictably.
Best time — 07:00–09:00 (dawn bite) and 22:00–23:00 (dusk bite).
Look for drop-offs and gaps in the weeds, retrieve slowly, lingering over promising spots. The water's cold — fish it more delicately and slowly.
The water's turning murky — go with bright, noisy lures: spoon or large fly. 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 8 °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 rising 4 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 Arctic char here.
These are the same values the bite curve above was computed from. How the forecast works
Cloudy · feels like +4°
The day is 6 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.
