River Creedy (Devon) — a popular fishing spot. About 17 km long. Flows into River Exe, English Channel basin. Close by — Exeter and Topsham. A smart bite calendar — moon phase, atmospheric pressure, and weather combined into an hourly fish-activity forecast for the coming days.
Recorded 1 catch here. Most commonly caught: Carp. Peak season: July.
Cloudy: 13–16 °C
The bite is strong — fish are active. Pressure is rising — activity tends to be more subdued.
Best time — 06:00–08:00 (dawn bite) and 19:00–21:00 (dusk bite).
Work the cover — snags, weed edges, hole entrances; retrieve the lure with pauses.
In clear water, natural colors work best: salmon spoon or salmon fly.
Pack transitional-season clothing — mornings and evenings are chilly.
Worth going — it's a productive day.
The computed water temperature is around 12 °C — inside the 4–14 °C comfort range for Atlantic salmon, so baseline activity is high.
Atlantic salmon works the twilight: the peaks are pinned to 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 an active season for Atlantic salmon here.
These are the same values the bite curve above was computed from. How the forecast works
Cloudy · feels like +12°
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.
