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. In cold or murky water, add scent to your chum.

Gear

Pack transitional-season clothing — mornings and evenings are chilly. Rain is expected — don't forget a rain jacket or a waterproof shell.
