Hogsmill River (Greater London) — a popular fishing spot. About 8 km long. Flows into River Thames. Close by — Kingston upon Thames, Twickenham and Sutton. Here you'll find a bite prediction — when fish are active and which hours give the best chances, adjusted for weather and pressure.

The course meanders heavily: on the outside of every bend the current undercuts the bank and digs a pool, on the inside it builds a bar — that is the main structure the river has. Longer than 4 of the 8 rivers nearby.

Green check: this species was recorded here by GBIF. Species without a check may still occur in the waterbody.
Work the cover — snags, weed edges, hole entrances; retrieve the lure with pauses.
Hogsmill River — Wednesday, October 21
The bite is weak — fish are sluggish. Pressure is dropping — this usually boosts the bite. Peak 07:00–09:00 and 18:00–19:00.
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 rising 7 hPa over the day — the bite usually settles down after a rise.
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.
October is an average month for Atlantic salmon here.
These are the same values the bite curve above was computed from. How the forecast works
Cloudy · feels like +6°
The day is 4 min shorter than yesterday.
Sunshine hours count direct sun only — cloud cover cuts it, so it is shorter than daylight.
Geomagnetic fieldG1 geomagnetic storm, Kp 4.7
Kp index — NOAA data. Not part of the bite score: catches show no link between geomagnetic storms and the bite.
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.
