Montana — Wednesday, October 21
The bite is strong — fish are active. Weather is steady, with no sharp swings — fish behave predictably. Peak 08:00–10:00 and 18:00–20:00.
The computed water temperature is around 42 °F — colder than the 45–63 °F comfort range for Cutthroat trout: the fish conserves energy and takes more cautiously.
Cutthroat trout works the twilight: the peaks are pinned to sunrise and sunset — their times are in the sun-and-moon card above.
Pressure is dropping 0.12 inHg over the day — fish are usually more active ahead of a weather change.
October is an active season for Cutthroat trout here.
These are the same values the bite curve above was computed from. How the forecast works
Partly cloudy · feels like +38°
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 forecast. 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.
