Lake Penryn River (Cornwall) — one of the area's fishing spots. About 74 ha in area. Close by — Penryn, Falmouth and Truro. Here you'll find a bite prediction — when fish are active and which hours give the best chances, adjusted for weather and pressure.
Clear: 15–21 °C
Recorded 2 catches here. Most commonly caught: Brown trout. Peak season: September–October.
The bite is weak — fish are sluggish. Pressure is rising — activity tends to be more subdued.
Best time — 11:00–17:00 (daytime activity).
Chum one spot near a drop-off and wait for fish to arrive — don't chase them.
Today's bait — maggot or small hook with dough bait.
No special gear needed — seasonal clothing will do.
A slow day — go only if you really feel like it.
The computed water temperature is around 16 °C — inside the 14–26 °C comfort range for Bleak, so baseline activity is high.
Bleak feeds by day — between sunrise and sunset; their times are in the sun-and-moon card above.
Pressure is flat: it moves no more than 1 hPa over the day, so the weather isn't shifting today's bite.
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.
September is a slow season for Bleak: the best months fall at another time of year.
These are the same values the bite curve above was computed from. How the forecast works
Partly cloudy · feels like +17°
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.
