Saskatchewan — Tuesday, October 20
The bite is moderate — fish feed in short bursts. Pressure is rising — activity tends to be more subdued. Peak 00:00–03:00 and 23:00–23:00.
The computed water temperature is around 7 °C — colder than the 12–20 °C comfort range for Lake sturgeon: the fish conserves energy and takes more cautiously.
Lake sturgeon feeds at night: the peak falls in the dark hours, between sunset and sunrise.
Pressure is rising 9 hPa over the day — the bite usually settles down after a rise.
October is an active season for Lake sturgeon 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 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.
