The bite is moderate — fish feed in short bursts. Weather is steady, with no sharp swings — fish behave predictably.
Best time — 11:00–17:00 (daytime activity).
Pick a stretch of steady current, chum one spot and fish it — don't move around without reason.
Today's bait — boilies or sweetcorn.
Bring a warm jacket — it's noticeably colder on the water than on shore.
An average day — best chances during peak windows.
The computed water temperature is around 50 °F — colder than the 61–82 °F comfort range for Carp: the fish conserves energy and takes more cautiously.
Carp feeds by day — between sunrise and sunset; their times are in the sun-and-moon card above.
Pressure is rising 0.21 inHg over the day — the bite usually settles down after a rise.
September is an active season for Carp here.
These are the same values the bite curve above was computed from. How the forecast works
Clear · feels like +40°
The day is 3 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.
