Best fishing times today

How we calculate this →

64Good

Best window 16:00 – 18:00

Good (64) — best around ⁦16:00–18:00⁩, thanks to a major solunar period, dawn or dusk light, moving water.

  • Feels like ⁦1.1°⁩ around 08:00.
    Why we say thisApparent temperature combines cold and wind chill. Near freezing, exposure sets the length of a session more than the fish do.
  • Gusting 34 kn around 08:00.
    Why we say thisGusts, not average wind, are what capsize a kayak and spoil a cast. Above 30 kn most shore and small-craft fishing stops being pleasant.
