Fishing forecast: best time to fish today
Hour-by-hour bite score for your spot from solunar periods and sun timing.
Type a town or water, or use your location, to see today's hour-by-hour forecast and the next 16 days.
How this tool works
Each hour gets an activity value from solunar periods (moon overhead or underfoot = major, moonrise and moonset = minor) and sunrise and sunset. The daily score (0–10) comes from those two inputs only. Pressure and wind are not scored yet: the National Weather Service feed that supplies them is not connected, so every score uses a neutral pressure, no wind input, and the result marks both as not tracked. Evidence for solunar theory is mixed, so we show the inputs, not just a number. Full methodology.
FAQ
What is the best time of day to fish?
Usually the hour around sunrise and sunset, especially when a solunar major period overlaps. The forecast highlights those windows.
Does barometric pressure affect fishing?
Many anglers see better fishing on stable or slowly falling pressure and a slower bite after a sharp rise behind a cold front. The forecast does not score pressure yet.
