Nearest towns and cities
The shoreline is moderately indented: bays and points alternate with even stretches. Larger than 12 of the 13 waters nearby.
The longest fetch is 0.9 mi along the north-east — south-west axis: wind along it builds a wave on the open water and pushes silt and food towards the lee bank.

Chum one spot near a drop-off and wait for fish to arrive — don't chase them. The water's cold — fish it more delicately and slowly.
ThunderstormThunderstorm possible: put the rod down and leave open shoreline at the first rumble.
Loch Alvie — Wednesday, October 21
The bite is moderate — fish feed in short bursts. A thunderstorm is possible: activity rises before the front and drops after. Peak 12:00–15:00.
The computed water temperature is around 8 °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 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.
October is an average month for Bleak here.
These are the same values the bite curve above was computed from. How the forecast works
Drizzle · feels like +6°
The day is 5 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.
