5 verified Walleye catches are linked to Minnesota River. The forecast below uses this waterbody and current weather data.
Hourly activity and a seven-day calendar for Walleye.
Work the cover — snags, weed edges, hole entrances; retrieve the lure with pauses.
Minnesota River — Tuesday, October 20
The bite is strong — fish are active. Pressure is rising — activity tends to be more subdued. Peak 08:00–09:00 and 18:00–20:00.
The computed water temperature is around 53 °F — inside the 50–72 °F comfort range for Walleye, so baseline activity is high.
Walleye works the twilight: the peaks are pinned to sunrise and sunset — their times are in the sun-and-moon card above.
Pressure is dropping 0.21 inHg over the day — fish are usually more active ahead of a weather change.
October is peak season for Walleye here.
These are the same values the bite curve above was computed from. How the forecast works
Clear · feels like +54°
The day is 3 min shorter than yesterday.
Sunshine hours count direct sun only — cloud cover cuts it, so it is shorter than daylight.
Geomagnetic fieldG1 geomagnetic storm, Kp 4.7
Kp index — NOAA data. Not part of the bite score: catches show no link between geomagnetic storms and the bite.
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.
