The bite is strong — fish are active. Pressure is rising — activity tends to be more subdued.
Best time — 06:00–08:00 (dawn bite) and 19:00–21:00 (dusk bite).
Work the cover — snags, weed edges, hole entrances; retrieve the lure with pauses.
In clear water, natural colors work best: curly-tail grub or spinner.
No special gear needed — seasonal clothing will do.
Worth going — it's a productive day.
The computed water temperature is around 17 °C — inside the 10–22 °C comfort range for Perch, so baseline activity is high.
Perch works the twilight: the peaks are pinned to sunrise and sunset — their times are in the sun-and-moon card above.
Pressure is dropping 8 hPa over the day — fish are usually more active ahead of a weather change.
September is an active season for Perch here.
These are the same values the bite curve above was computed from. How the forecast works
Cloudy · feels like +19°
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.
