Hunter River (Prince Edward Island) — a popular fishing spot. About 17 km long. Here you'll find a bite prediction — when fish are active and which hours give the best chances, adjusted for weather and pressure.
Prince Edward Island: the months when each species peaks and when it goes quiet. The current month is outlined.
| Fish | January | February | March | April | May | June | July | August | September | October | November | December |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Striped bass | slow | slow | fair | active | peak | peak | active | active | active | peak | active | fair |
| Atlantic salmon | slow | slow | fair | active | peak | peak | active | active | active | active | slow | slow |
| Brook trout | slow | slow | slow | fair | peak | peak | active | active | peak | peak | active | slow |
| Rainbow trout | slow | slow | fair | active | peak | peak | active | active | active | active | slow | slow |
| Rainbow smelt | peak | peak | peak | active | fair | slow | slow | slow | slow | slow | fair | active |
The course is moderately sinuous: pools are scoured at the bends and riffles run between them.

Work the cover — snags, weed edges, hole entrances; retrieve the lure with pauses. The water's cold — fish it more delicately and slowly.
Hunter River — Wednesday, October 21
The bite is moderate — fish feed in short bursts. Weather is steady, with no sharp swings — fish behave predictably. Peak 07:00–09:00 and 18:00–20:00.
The computed water temperature is around 10 °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 dropping 3 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.
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
Partly cloudy · feels like +5°
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.
