Langley Lake (Wisconsin) — a spot well known among anglers. About 3 ha in area. Here you'll find a bite prediction — when fish are active and which hours give the best chances, adjusted for weather and pressure.
Other nearby waters
The shoreline is moderately indented: bays and points alternate with even stretches. Smaller than 17 of the 20 waters nearby.
The water is sheltered: there is almost no fetch, so wind stirs it up very little.

Look for drop-offs and gaps in the weeds, retrieve slowly, lingering over promising spots.
Langley Lake — Wednesday, October 21
The bite is strong — fish are active. Pressure is rising — activity tends to be more subdued. Peak 07:00–09:00 and 18:00–20:00.
The computed water temperature is around 52 °F — colder than the 57–75 °F comfort range for Black crappie: the fish conserves energy and takes more cautiously.
Black crappie 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 0.00 inHg over the day, so the weather isn't shifting today's bite.
One more input — the moon's feeding windows: within their hours the score sits higher than across the rest of the day. The window times are in the “Solunar feeding periods” card below.
October is an active season for Black crappie here.
These are the same values the bite curve above was computed from. How the forecast works
Cloudy · feels like +56°
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.
