Recorded 11 catches of Walleye in Nebraska. Most active — April–November. A day-by-day bite calendar for Walleye.
Sunday, September 6
The bite is strong — fish are active. Pressure is rising — activity tends to be more subdued.
Best time — 07:00–09:00 (dawn bite) and 19:00–22:00 (dusk bite).
Work the cover — snags, weed edges, hole entrances; retrieve the lure with pauses.
In clear water, natural colors work best: jig with grub or jig with live minnow.
It's a hot day — a hat, sunglasses, and plenty of water are a must.
Worth going — it's a productive day.
The computed water temperature is around 75 °F — warmer than the 50–72 °F comfort range for Walleye: in the heat it drops deeper and feeds less often.
Walleye works the twilight: the peaks are pinned to sunrise and sunset — their times are in the sun-and-moon card above.
Pressure is rising 0.03 inHg over the day — the bite usually settles down after a rise.
September is peak season for Walleye here.
These are the same values the bite curve above was computed from. How the forecast works
Partly cloudy · feels like +88°
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.
