out of interest, do you also use the system for fresh water? results?

FYI, I've only very recently finished reading Knights book, Moon Up Moon Down, and it surprised me that much of his fishing was fly fishing for trout and bass (from which he largely developed his solunar theory)........ie I'd always thought this information was soley salt water related

I use the system for freshwater fishing myself with great results, for instance this nice trout was caught during a major time around noon in a lake on the south island, NZ.

yeah actually John Alden Knight was a keen freshwater fly fisherman.
He wanted to develop a reliable system for predicting the feeding behavior of fresh water fish.

Because tides have such a strong influence on the feeding behavior of saltwater fish, he was trying to apply tide times to freshwater fishing too. In his first attempt he even called this "inland tides". To calculate "inland tides" he had to look at the underlying forces that cause tides in the oceans.

The Solunar Theory was born because moon and sun are the causes for tides and also all other natural rhythms on earth.
Knight discovered that animals follow those rhythms in their natural feeding behavior.

Over time his findings proved to be very effective in predicting the peek feeding times of saltwater and freshwater fish as well as all other animals that live in a natural environment.

Mark, been looking at different solunar systems and none seem to offer an overlay of solunar times and tides - graphically. Is this possible and/or does your payed system offer this?

This would provide the tides which are useful for planning trips and then obviously Solunar times which add the extra important value

Hi Strawberry

Its not yet possible to view a graphical chart of tide times and solunar times.
But I'm actually planning to create such a graph in the near future.
Because I'm mainly fishing in saltwater this would be of great value for me too.

In the meantime it is however already possible to quickly compare the solunar times and tide times - just not graphically so far.

But bear with me - I need to finish some other bits and pieces first.

Do you have any suggestions on how you imagine the graph to look like?

I will provide my initial graph thoughts to you tomorrow with an example

ok - thats fantastic, thanks for your input. looking forward to see your example.
