Wednesday, September 2
The bite is moderate — fish feed in short bursts. Pressure is dropping — this usually boosts the bite.
Best time — 06:00–08:00 (dawn bite) and 20:00–22:00 (dusk bite).
Work the cover — snags, weed edges, hole entrances; retrieve the lure with pauses.
In clear water, natural colors work best: trout paste or trout spoon.
No special gear needed — seasonal clothing will do.
An average day — best chances during peak windows.
The computed water temperature is around 17 °C — warmer than the 6–16 °C comfort range for Rainbow trout: in the heat it drops deeper and feeds less often.
Rainbow trout works the twilight: the peaks are pinned to sunrise and sunset — their times are in the sun-and-moon card above.
Pressure is rising 2 hPa over the day — the bite usually settles down after a rise.
September is an active season for Rainbow trout here.
These are the same values the bite curve above was computed from. How the forecast works
Partly cloudy · feels like +20°
The day is 4 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.
