    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.

    Recommendations

    Tactics

    Pick a stretch of steady current, chum one spot and fish it — don't move around without reason.

    Lures

    Today's bait — maggot or small hook with dough bait.

    Gear

    Pack transitional-season clothing — mornings and evenings are chilly.
