Harris Lake (Saskatchewan) — one of the area's fishing spots. About 34 ha in area. Here you'll find a bite prediction — when fish are active and which hours give the best chances, adjusted for weather and pressure.
The shoreline is moderately indented: bays and points alternate with even stretches. The islands add structure: drop-offs around their perimeter and channels between them and the bank.
The water is sheltered: there is almost no fetch, so wind stirs it up very little.

Harris Lake — Tuesday, October 20
The bite is strong — fish are active. Pressure is rising — activity tends to be more subdued. Peak 07:00–09:00 and 18:00–19:00.
The computed water temperature is around 7 °C — inside the 7–16 °C comfort range for Brook trout, so baseline activity is high.
Brook 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 9 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 peak season for Brook trout here.
These are the same values the bite curve above was computed from. How the forecast works
Partly cloudy · feels like +7°
The day is 4 min shorter than yesterday.
Sunshine hours count direct sun only — cloud cover cuts it, so it is shorter than daylight.
Geomagnetic fieldunsettled, Kp 4
Kp index — NOAA data. 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.
