A fishing forecast analyzes real-time weather conditions, barometric pressure, wind patterns, and moon phase to predict when fish are most likely to bite. This live fishing forecast tool provides accurate bite predictions for lakes, rivers, and streams across the United States.
Our fishing forecast combines multiple environmental factors including temperature, humidity, wind speed and direction, atmospheric pressure changes, and lunar cycles. These conditions directly impact fish behavior and feeding patterns. By analyzing these factors in real-time, we generate a bite score that helps you plan your fishing trips for maximum success.

Look at your bite score! A score above 70% means ideal conditions — expect active fish near structure. 40-70% is mixed conditions where fish are likely in transition zones. Below 40% means challenging conditions, so focus on prime locations and optimal timing. The score combines temperature, pressure, wind, humidity, and moon phase to give you the full picture.
Absolutely! October can be excellent for fishing, especially as water temperatures cool and fish become more active. Fall patterns often mean fish are feeding more aggressively before winter. Check your bite score above to see how today's conditions stack up — October weather can vary, so real-time forecasts help you pick the best days.
Fish when the conditions are right. That's why we built Fish Forecaster — to take the guesswork out of timing. The best anglers know that weather, pressure, and moon phase matter more than fancy gear. Check your bite score, and if it's good, that's your signal to go.
The 90/10 rule says 90% of fish are caught by 10% of anglers. But here's the thing — those 10% aren't just lucky. They fish when conditions are right. That's where your bite score comes in. When conditions are ideal (70%+ bite score), you're stacking the odds in your favor and joining that top 10%.
The 80/20 rule suggests 80% of fish are caught in 20% of the water — the prime spots. But timing matters just as much as location. Even the best spots won't produce if conditions are poor. Use your bite score to find that sweet spot where great location meets great timing, and you'll catch more fish.
Yes! You can save as many as you want, as long as each is at least about 100 meters apart so they're distinct locations.

It means some factors look good (like wind or pressure), but others aren't ideal. Basically, it could go either way.
Think of it as a guide. If conditions look good here and you know your local spots — that's your cue to grab the tackle box.
Because weather, temperature, and pressure all shift throughout the day — fish react fast to that.
Pretty much! It's tuned for common freshwater species found in lakes, rivers, and streams.
