Hourly activity and a seven-day calendar for Brown trout.

Loch of Boardhouse — Saturday, October 24
The bite is moderate — fish feed in short bursts. A thunderstorm is possible: activity rises before the front and drops after. Peak 08:00–10:00.
The computed water temperature is around 10 °C — inside the 6–17 °C comfort range for Brown trout, so baseline activity is high.
Brown trout works the twilight: the peaks are pinned to sunrise and sunset — their times are in the sun-and-moon card above.
Pressure is dropping 51 hPa over the day — fish are usually more active ahead of a weather change.
October is an average month for Brown trout here.
These are the same values the bite curve above was computed from. How the forecast works
Cloudy · feels like +3°
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 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.
