What is a bite calendar?

Hourly activity

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

The bite is moderate — fish feed in short bursts. Pressure is dropping — this usually boosts the bite.

Peak bite hours

Best time — 07:00–08:00 (dawn bite) and 19:00–21:00 (dusk bite).

Tactics

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

Lures

In clear water, natural colors work best: jig with grub or jig with live minnow.

Gear

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

Summary

An average day — best chances during peak windows.

Why this forecast

The computed water temperature is around 77 °F — warmer than the 50–72 °F comfort range for Walleye: in the heat it drops deeper and feeds less often.
