William Girling Reservoir (Greater London) — one of the area's fishing spots. About 1.3 km² in area. Close by — Tottenham, Walthamstow and Wood Green. A smart bite calendar — moon phase, atmospheric pressure, and weather combined into an hourly fish-activity forecast for the coming days.

Green check: this species was recorded here by GBIF. Species without a check may still occur in the waterbody.
Chum one spot near a drop-off and wait for fish to arrive — don't chase them.
William Girling Reservoir — Tuesday, November 3
The bite is weak — fish are sluggish. Weather is steady, with no sharp swings — fish behave predictably. Peak 11:00–15:00.
The computed water temperature is around 12 °C — colder than the 14–26 °C comfort range for Bleak: the fish conserves energy and takes more cautiously.
Bleak 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.
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.
November 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 +10°
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 fieldquiet, Kp 2
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.

The bite is weak — fish are sluggish. Weather is steady, with no sharp swings — fish behave predictably. Peak 11:00–15:00.
The shoreline is moderately indented: bays and points alternate with even stretches. Larger than 11 of the 12 waters nearby.
The wind builds its wave along the north — south axis — 1 mi of open water; along west — east there is only 0.7 mi. When it runs down the main axis, the calm water sits against the bank it blows from, while the wave and the silt go to the far one — and the fish follow them there to feed.
