Bay Tasiujaaluk (Nunavut) — one of the area's fishing spots. About 141.8 km² in area. Salt water, not fresh — so this page carries its own marine bite forecast. A smart bite calendar — moon phase, atmospheric pressure, and weather combined into an hourly fish-activity forecast for the coming days.
Clear: 11–12 °C
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 structure — reefs, flats, channel edges; work them slowly near the bottom. 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.
Pack transitional-season clothing — mornings and evenings are chilly. Winds will be strong — wind protection helps, and be careful if you're in a boat.
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 dropping 4 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 Arctic char here.

Cloudy · feels like +4°
The day is 7 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.
