Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water is steady these days, with no sudden changes.
Water colder than normal for late October (−3.9 °F).

Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:00–3:00 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

- 7:30–8:30 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 8:35–9:35 pm Minor · moonrise · medium activity
According to solunar theory, fish feed more when the moon passes overhead or underfoot (major periods, about 2 h) and when it rises or sets (minor periods, 1 h). It works best around new and full moon.
