Tuesday, October 20
Pick a stretch of steady current, chum one spot and fish it — don't move around without reason. The water's cold — fish it more delicately and slowly.
Northwest Territories — Tuesday, October 20
The bite is strong — fish are active. Pressure is dropping — this usually boosts the bite. Peak 09:00–11:00 and 19:00–20:00.
The computed water temperature is around 5 °C — inside the 2–14 °C comfort range for Whitefish, so baseline activity is high.
Going by this year's frosts the ice hasn't formed yet: the season says it should have, but it hasn't been cold enough. This is an estimate from the weather across the whole region, not a measurement on your water.
Whitefish works the twilight: the peaks are pinned to sunrise and sunset — their times are in the sun-and-moon card above.
Pressure is dropping 22 hPa over the day — fish are usually more active ahead of a weather change.
October is peak season for Whitefish here.
These are the same values the bite curve above was computed from. How the forecast works
Cloudy · feels like -5°
The day is 7 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.
