Bay ᑕᑭᔪᐊᕐᕈᖅ (Nunavut) — a spot well known among anglers. About 49 ha 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.
The basin is close to regular: the bank runs smooth and natural cover is scarce, so fish hold to the few anomalies — inflows, drop-offs and weed edges.

Wednesday, October 21
Look for structure — reefs, flats, channel edges; work them slowly near the bottom. The water's cold — fish it more delicately and slowly.
ᑕᑭᔪᐊᕐᕈᖅ — Wednesday, October 21
The bite is moderate — fish feed in short bursts. Weather is steady, with no sharp swings — fish behave predictably. Peak 08:00–10:00.
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 rising 8 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.
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

Cloudy · feels like 0°
The day is 5 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.
What are solunar periods?Look for structure — reefs, flats, channel edges; work them slowly near the bottom. The water's cold — fish it more delicately and slowly.
