Sun and Moon
The sun will be at it's highest point at . Today we have 10:31 hours of daylight. For shallow water fishing the twilight periods are often the most productive fishing times, especially on days when a major or minor time will coincide with twilight. In low light conditions predators have better cover for their ambush and often hunt in shallow water.

New Moon is generally a very productive time for fishing. Dark nights mean that many predators feed more actively during daylight hours. The combined gravity of sun and moon during New Moon days has a stronger effect on all water bodies, leads to increased food availabilty and hence better fishing.
  • Distance to earth:
    403,701 km
    Proximity:
    4.7 %
We can compare the current moon distance to it's minimum and maximum distance from earth and express that as proximity. A high proximity means the moon is closer to earth. At 50% it would be at it's mean distance. A high proximity causes big tides, currents and has a direct effect on increased bite times. A proximity greater than 90% indicates a super moon.

For fishing, stronger tides are often favourable as they cause stronger currents and more motion on the sea bed. The above tidal coefficients give us an indication of how strong the tides are compared to their average. A value over 90 indicates very strong tides, known as spring tides. A low value indicates weak tides, known as neap tides. The tidal coefficient can range from 20 to 120 with a mean value of 70. A higher number usually indicates better fishing.

7 Day Fishing Weather
The weather plays an important role in fishing. Wind strenght and direction often determine where you can fish and where fish might be holding. Although high pressure is usually good for fishing, steep pressure changes often trigger feeding frenzies and are great times for fishing. Of course temperature has also a strong effect on fishing and comfort on the water. So make sure to cross check the weather forecast with the solunar fishing times to determine the best times to go fishing. The graph below shows you the 3 hourly weather progression over the next 7 days. Scroll the graph left or right to see more.

October Fishing Report

Cooler October temps on the Matane are pushing fish into deeper runs and tide-influenced pools. Anglers are still seeing the odd late Atlantic salmon moving on freshets, with better action after rain when flows bump and the water turns slightly tea-colored. Sea‑run brook trout are active at first warming of the day; downsized streamers and soft hackles fished slow are producing.

Along the St. Lawrence shoreline near the river mouth, schools of striped bass prowl on bait during dawn and dusk or a strong tidal swing. Slim metal spoons, bucktails, and 4–5 inch soft plastics in sand eel hues are effective. Expect clearer water after north winds; slow the retrieve as water temps drop.

Fly anglers: swing small black/blue intruders or traditional wet flies on a sink tip; nymph the tailouts with stonefly or egg patterns when the sun is high. Spinning anglers: try 1/4–3/8 oz spoons in copper or silver and work them across current seams.

Top tip: Track overnight lows—when the morning starts above 5°C after a rain, fish the first rising light in tidewater, then shift upriver by midday as temperatures nudge fish to feed.
