Best fishing times today
Best window 19:00 – 20:00
Fair (52) — best around 19:00–20:00, thanks to moving water, dawn or dusk light, a comfortable water temperature.
- Feels like 0.4° around 13:00.
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 37 kn around 06:00.
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.
