Lake Athabasca (Saskatchewan) — one of the area's fishing spots. About 7677.4 km² in area, up to 243 m deep. Nearest town — Black Lake. See when the bite is best: hourly fish activity for the days ahead, computed from the weather, pressure, and season.

The shoreline is heavily indented — bays, points and spits. Look for pike at the mouths of the bays and on the drop-offs behind the points. There are many islands: the water is broken up by drop-offs and the channels between them.
The wind builds its wave along the west — east axis — 308 km of open water; along north — south there is only 114 km. When it runs down the main axis, the calm water sits against the bank it blows from, while the wave and the silt go to the far one — and the fish follow them there to feed.

Lake Athabasca — 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 17:00–19:00.
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 5 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 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.
What are solunar periods?Blue check: this species appears as a catch in reports for this waterbody.
