County Sligo — a region with a sea coast plus rivers and lakes. The region has 5 cities, 45 rivers, 77 water bodies and 4 sea areas. We forecast the bite not only on rivers and lakes, but at sea as well. Species found here: bleak, roach, rainbow trout, pike, white bream and bream. Here you'll find a bite prediction — when fish are active and which hours give the best chances, adjusted for weather and pressure.

    The day is 4 min shorter than yesterday.

    Sunshine hours count direct sun only — cloud cover cuts it, so it is shorter than daylight.

    Solunar feeding periods

    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.

    Recommendations

    Tactics

    Work the cover — snags, weed edges, hole entrances; retrieve the lure with pauses.

    Lures

    The water's turning murky — go with bright, noisy lures: crankbait or spoon.

    Gear

    No special gear needed — seasonal clothing will do. Rain is expected — don't forget a rain jacket or a waterproof shell.
