    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. Weather is steady, with no sharp swings — fish behave predictably.

    Peak bite hours

    Best time — 11:00–17:00 (daytime activity).

    Tactics

    Pick a stretch of steady current, chum one spot and fish it — don't move around without reason.

    Lures

    Today's bait — boilies or sweetcorn.

    Gear

    No special gear needed — seasonal clothing will do.

    Summary

    An average day — best chances during peak windows.

    Why this forecast

    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.
