What is a bite calendar?

Hourly activity

0:006:0012:0018:0023:00
Bite activity:highmediumlow

The bite is weak — fish are sluggish. Weather is steady, with no sharp swings — fish behave predictably.

Peak bite hours

Best time — 06:00–08:00 (dawn bite) and 20:00–22:00 (dusk bite).

Tactics

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

Lures

In clear water, natural colors work best: trout paste or trout spoon.

Gear

It's a hot day — a hat, sunglasses, and plenty of water are a must.

Summary

A slow day — go only if you really feel like it.

Why this forecast

The computed water temperature is around 77 °F — warmer than the 43–61 °F comfort range for Rainbow trout: in the heat it drops deeper and feeds less often.

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.
