River Abhainn Hòrasaraidh (Western Isles) — a spot well known among anglers. About 1 km long. See when the bite is best: hourly fish activity for the days ahead, computed from the weather, pressure, and season.
The course runs nearly straight: there are few bend pools, and the structure to look for is riffles and scour holes.

Work the cover — snags, weed edges, hole entrances; retrieve the lure with pauses.
Abhainn Hòrasaraidh — Saturday, September 19
The bite is moderate — fish feed in short bursts. Pressure is dropping — this usually boosts the bite. Peak 07:00–09:00 and 19:00–21:00.
The computed water temperature is around 12 °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 rising 13 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 active season for Atlantic salmon here.
These are the same values the bite curve above was computed from. How the forecast works
Cloudy · feels like +7°
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.
