Best fishing times today
Best window 10:00 – 12:00
Good (63) — best around 10:00–12:00, thanks to moving water, a major solunar period, falling pressure.
- Feels like -1.0° around 20:00.
Why we say this
Apparent temperature combines cold and wind chill. Near freezing, exposure sets the length of a session more than the fish do. - Gusting 44 kn around 20:00.
Why we say this
Gusts, not average wind, are what capsize a kayak and spoil a cast. Above 30 kn most shore and small-craft fishing stops being pleasant.
