Sun and Moon Times

The sun will be at it's highest point at . Today we have 17:38 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.

Next New Moon in ~16 days on 14th July
Full Moon is generally a productive time for fishing - especially night fishing. Bright nights mean that many predators feed more actively during the night. During full moon the gravitational pull is in line with the gravitational pull of the sun, affecting all wildlife and increasing feeding behaviour.
  • Distance to earth:
    405,501 km
    Proximity:
    0.5 %
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.

Fishing Overview Haddington

Haddington sits on one of East Lothian’s most attractive game-fishing rivers, the River Tyne, offering anglers a mix of riffles, shallow runs and deeper holding pools within minutes of the town centre. The system is dominated by wild brown trout, supported by an excellent grayling population and the chance of sea trout and the odd Atlantic salmon in season. Access points near the town bridges and paths along the riverbanks make this a very approachable fishery for visiting anglers.

Seasonal patterns on the Tyne around Haddington are fairly predictable. Spring brings improving water temperatures and the first reliable hatches of olives and large dark olives; trout become more surface‑oriented and respond well to small upstream dry flies and spiders. Late spring into early summer is prime time, with longer evenings and good hatches of upwings and sedges. Summer can see low, clear water, when lighter tippets, smaller flies and stealthy wading are essential. Autumn offers excellent sport for both trout and grayling as they feed hard before winter, with nymphing in riffles and runs especially effective. Through the colder months, grayling become the main quarry, and careful nymph presentation in deeper glides is the key.

The habitat around Haddington features a blend of gravelly shallows, undercut banks and pool tails that act as prime lies. Look for subtle depth changes, bubble lines and the heads of pools where food concentrates. Overhanging trees and trailing roots often hold better‑than‑average trout, particularly in slightly coloured water. In low flows, focus on faster broken water where fish feel secure; in higher water, they will drop back into the softer edges and inside bends.

Techniques and tackle should be matched to the compact nature of the river. A 9–10 ft, 3–5 wt fly rod is ideal for most situations. Traditional upstream dry‑fly and north‑country spider tactics work very well in spring and early summer; size 14–18 olive patterns, small dark emergers and sparse spider patterns fished across and down cover most hatches. When fish are not visibly rising, switch to a single or double nymph rig with slim pheasant tail or hares-ear nymphs, adjusted so they track just above the stones. On cooler days or in coloured water, weighted nymphs or short‑line Euro‑style methods can unlock deeper pockets and seams.

For grayling, focus on the deeper runs and steady glides downstream of obvious riffles. Tungsten-beaded nymphs in natural shades, pink or purple accents and small bugs tied on jig hooks help avoid snagging along the cobbled bed. A sensitive indicator or tight-line approach will show the subtle winter takes. Occasional sea trout and salmon move through the system; when conditions suggest fresh fish in the river, swinging small doubles or light tube flies through the larger pools and tails at dusk can be worthwhile.

Tactical tips around Haddington include approaching the water quietly and keeping a low profile, as fish in the clear Tyne quickly spook from heavy footfall on the banks. Wading is often helpful but should be light and deliberate to avoid disturbing upstream lies. Pay close attention to fly size and leader diameter when the river is low and clear, dropping to finer tippets and smaller flies. In coloured water after rain, move slightly larger and darker with both nymphs and dries to maintain visibility. Cover water methodically, give each likely lie a few quality casts, and then move on; the Tyne rewards anglers who stay mobile and adapt to the day’s conditions.

Beaches and Bays are ideal places for land-based fishing. If the beach is shallow and the water is clear then twilight times are usually the best times, especially when they coincide with a major or minor fishing time. Often the points on either side of a beach are the best spots. Or if the beach is large then look for irregularities in the breaking waves, indicating sandbanks and holes. We found 10 beaches and bays in this area.
