Musquash River (Ontario) — a spot well known among anglers. About 26 km long. Flows into Georgian Bay, Lake Huron drainage basin. See when the bite is best: hourly fish activity for the days ahead, computed from the weather, pressure, and season.

The course meanders heavily: the current digs a pool on the outside of every bend and builds a bar on the inside. Those pools under the undercut bank are where pike typically sits.

Work the cover — snags, weed edges, hole entrances; retrieve the lure with pauses. The water's cold — fish it more delicately and slowly.
Musquash River — Wednesday, October 21
The bite is moderate — fish feed in short bursts. Pressure is rising — activity tends to be more subdued. Peak 08:00–10:00 and 18:00–20:00.
The computed water temperature is around 8 °C — inside the 4–14 °C comfort range for Atlantic salmon, so baseline activity is high.
Atlantic salmon works the twilight: the peaks are pinned to sunrise and sunset — their times are in the sun-and-moon card above.
Pressure is rising 1 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 Atlantic salmon here.
These are the same values the bite curve above was computed from. How the forecast works
Drizzle · feels like +7°
The day is 3 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?Measured river conditions are available for Musquash River: current gauge height, streamflow, and water temperature when reported by the source.
