After seeing a couple posts on a popular social networking platform about the best lakes to fish in in Washington state, decided to build a little go to site for information. Stemmed from my other popular site: Westportclams.com
Based on the Solunar Theory, the best fishing times are predicted to be during specific periods of the day, influenced by the alignment of the sun and moon. Here's a breakdown of the best times according to the Solunar Theory Major Periods: These periods are considered the most opportune for fishing, with peak activity when the moon is directly overhead or directly underfoot in relation to your fishing location. These periods typically last for approximately two hours, although they can extend for longer. They are also associated with high tide and low tide times, which are believed to trigger increased fish feeding activity. Minor Periods: These periods are also associated with increased fish activity, but to a lesser degree than major periods. They occur roughly halfway between the major periods and coincide with moonrise and moonset, typically lasting for about 1-1.5 hours. Enhancing your fishing success Combine Solunar periods with other factors: Consider environmental factors like weather conditions (barometric pressure, wind, temperature), bait migration, and local knowledge of fish behavior in your area. Adverse weather conditions can override the influence of the Solunar periods. Fish during a New or Full Moon: These phases are believed to experience the strongest gravitational pull from the sun and moon, potentially amplifying fish activity during the Major and Minor Periods. Plan around Sunrise and Sunset: Fish are generally more active during dawn and dusk (sunrise and sunset) due to lower light levels. When a Major or Minor Solunar period coincides with sunrise or sunset, the fish's feeding activity is expected to increase significantly, according to FishingTech.
