Thursday, September 3
The bite is strong — fish are active. Pressure is rising — activity tends to be more subdued.
Best time — 06:00–08:00 (dawn bite) and 19:00–21:00 (dusk bite).
Look for drop-offs and gaps in the weeds, retrieve slowly, lingering over promising spots.
The water's turning murky — go with bright, noisy lures: spinner or fly.
No special gear needed — seasonal clothing will do. 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 18 °C — warmer than the 7–16 °C comfort range for Brook trout: in the heat it drops deeper and feeds less often.
Brook trout works the twilight: the peaks are pinned to sunrise and sunset — their times are in the sun-and-moon card above.
Pressure is dropping 6 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.
September is peak season for Brook trout here.
These are the same values the bite curve above was computed from. How the forecast works
Cloudy · feels like +18°
The day is 3 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.
