35/100Poor
SHOULD YOU FISH TODAY?

Today and tomorrow look broadly similar

Today is 35/100 and tomorrow is 30/100. The difference is too small to justify postponing solely because of the forecast. The tomorrow comparison changes forecast weather while carrying forward the latest measured water context, so recheck the gauge or tide before leaving.

Wind will be noticeable, especially on open water and exposed banks.

What we still don't know

Future scores primarily reflect forecast weather while using today's water conditions as the baseline. Recheck before the trip because river flow, tides and water temperature can change.

SPECIES INTELLIGENCE

Confirmed fish targets

No authoritative species occurrence evidence is attached to this water yet, so the site deliberately does not recommend trout, bass or any other target merely because the temperature looks compatible.

Species recommendations require stored authoritative/editor-confirmed occurrence evidence. Broad temperature compatibility is not enough.

GEAR FOR THESE CONDITIONS

Useful starting points

Wind-resistant outer layer

Wind is strong enough to affect comfort and casting.

TRANSPARENCY

What this score means

This is a planning score based on measurable conditions. It is not a bite forecast and cannot guarantee catches. Missing facts are left unavailable rather than invented.
