Seasonal and Lunar Considerations

Practical Tips

  • Arrive early for the best choice of pegs and to catch fish during their most active feeding times.
  • Check the weather: Overcast days can be better than bright, sunny ones, as fish may feed more confidently.
  • If you want to maximize your chances, consider using a solunar calendar or fishing app to pinpoint peak activity windows for your specific dates.
