Northumberland — Thursday, September 24
Ruffe bite from early morning to late evening as falling pressure keeps them active. They stay near the bottom in flowing water. Peak 06:00–08:00 and 18:00–21:00.
The computed water temperature is around 12 °C — inside the 4–18 °C comfort range for Ruffe, so baseline activity is high.
Ruffe works the twilight: the peaks are pinned to sunrise and sunset — their times are in the sun-and-moon card above.
Pressure is dropping 10 hPa over the day — fish are usually more active ahead of a weather change.
September is peak season for Ruffe here.
These are the same values the bite curve above was computed from. How the forecast works
Cloudy · feels like +12°
The day is 4 min shorter than yesterday.
Sunshine hours count direct sun only — cloud cover cuts it, so it is shorter than daylight.
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.
