Read the guide →Wednesday, September 2
The bite is strong — fish are active. Pressure is rising — activity tends to be more subdued.
Best time — 11:00–16:00 (daytime activity).
Pick a stretch of steady current, chum one spot and fish it — don't move around without reason.
Today's bait — maggot or small hook with dough bait.
No special gear needed — seasonal clothing will do.
Worth going — it's a productive day.
The computed water temperature is around 18 °C — inside the 8–20 °C comfort range for Dace, so baseline activity is high.
Dace feeds by day — between sunrise and sunset; their times are in the sun-and-moon card above.
Pressure is dropping 3 hPa over the day — fish are usually more active ahead of a weather change.
September is peak season for Dace here.
These are the same values the bite curve above was computed from. How the forecast works
Cloudy · feels like +18°
The day is 4 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.
