North Dakota — Wednesday, October 21
The bite is weak — fish are sluggish. Pressure is rising — activity tends to be more subdued. Peak 08:00–09:00 and 18:00–20:00.
The computed water temperature is around 53 °F — inside the 43–61 °F comfort range for Rainbow trout, so baseline activity is high.
Rainbow trout 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.
October is an average month for Rainbow trout here.
These are the same values the bite curve above was computed from. How the forecast works
Clear · feels like +46°
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.
