Loch Leven (Perth and Kinross) — a popular fishing spot. About 14.1 km² in area, up to 25.3 m deep. Nearby towns: Kinross, Bridge of Earn and Perth. See when the bite is best: hourly fish activity for the days ahead, computed from the weather, pressure, and season.
The shoreline is moderately indented: bays and points alternate with even stretches. The islands add structure: drop-offs around their perimeter and channels between them and the bank. The largest water around: all 17 neighbours are smaller.
The longest fetch is 4 mi along the north-west — south-east axis: wind along it builds a wave on the open water and pushes silt and food towards the lee bank.
Recorded 12 catches here. Most commonly caught: Brown trout, Pike. Peak season: April–July.

Chum one spot near a drop-off and wait for fish to arrive — don't chase them.
Loch Leven — Sunday, September 20
The bite is moderate — fish feed in short bursts. Pressure is rising — activity tends to be more subdued. Peak 11:00–16:00.
The computed water temperature is around 11 °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 rising 19 hPa over the day — the bite usually settles down after a rise.
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.
September is an average month for Bleak here.
These are the same values the bite curve above was computed from. How the forecast works
Clear · 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.
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.
