Best time — 05:00–07:00 (dawn bite) and 20:00–21:00 (dusk bite).
Work the cover — snags, weed edges, hole entrances; retrieve the lure with pauses.
In clear water, natural colors work best: crankbait or spoon.
Pack transitional-season clothing — mornings and evenings are chilly.
Worth going — it's a productive day.
The computed water temperature is around 12 °C — inside the 8–20 °C comfort range for Pike, so baseline activity is high.

These are the same values the bite curve above was computed from. How the forecast works
Clear · feels like +16°
The day is 5 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.
