9 verified Walleye catches are linked to Mohawk River. The forecast below uses this waterbody and current weather data.
Hourly activity and a seven-day calendar for Walleye.
Friday, September 4
The bite is strong — fish are active. Pressure is dropping — this usually boosts the bite.
Best time — 06:00–08:00 (dawn bite) and 19:00–21:00 (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.
No special gear needed — seasonal clothing will do.
Worth going — it's a productive day.
The computed water temperature is around 65 °F — inside the 50–72 °F comfort range for Walleye, so baseline activity is high.
Walleye works the twilight: the peaks are pinned to sunrise and sunset — their times are in the sun-and-moon card above.
Pressure is flat: it moves no more than 0.03 inHg over the day, so the weather isn't shifting today's bite.
September is peak season for Walleye here.
These are the same values the bite curve above was computed from. How the forecast works
Clear · feels like +70°
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.
What are solunar periods?Recorded 9 catches here. Most commonly caught: Walleye. Peak season: January–September.
