Today's Fishing Index 🎣

How is the index calculated?

Solunar theory holds that fish are most active for about an hour around the lunar transits (moon overhead or underfoot) — the major periods — and somewhat less around moonrise and moonset — the minor periods. These happen every day and are not the same thing as spring and neap tides, which follow the roughly two-week lunar cycle. Moving water around high and low tide also triggers feeding, so the table lists the actual tide turns separately. The moon-phase score uses the phase alone and peaks near new and full moons; real results still depend on weather, water temperature and terrain.
