    Partly cloudy: 13–16 °C

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.

  • 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.

    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.
