Work the cover — snags, weed edges, hole entrances; retrieve the lure with pauses.
Moray — Wednesday, October 21
The bite is moderate — fish feed in short bursts. Pressure is dropping — this usually boosts the bite. Peak 07:00–10:00 and 17:00–19:00.
The computed water temperature is around 10 °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 dropping 3 hPa over the day — fish are usually more active ahead of a weather change.
October is an active season for Atlantic salmon here.
These are the same values the bite curve above was computed from. How the forecast works
Drizzle · feels like +9°
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.
