Sun and Moon Times

The sun will be at it's highest point at . Today we have 16:55 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.

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.

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 Peterborough

Fishing around Peterborough centres on the River Nene and a spread of fenland drains, commercial fisheries and old gravel pits. This combination gives a mix of natural river fishing for barbel, chub and roach, plus stillwater venues geared toward carp, tench and match-style mixed bags. The area fishes 12 months of the year if you adjust tactics to conditions and water type.

On the River Nene through Peterborough, barbel and chub dominate summer and early autumn sport. Warm months call for evening sessions, targeting faster runs below weirs, bends and gravel shallows. A cage feeder with halibut pellets, meat or boilies works well, while mobile anglers do well trundling luncheon meat or a big pellet down the crease under a strong hooklength. Roach, dace and perch pack into slower glides and marinas; a 13–14 ft float rod, fine line and maggots or pinkies will keep the float going under on most summer and autumn outings.

Winter on the Nene around Peterborough is prime time for pike and zander. Focus on marinas, boat channels and turning bays where baitfish shoal up. Deadbaits such as smelt, roach sections or lamprey fished on a simple float or ledger rig are consistent producers for pike. Smaller, slimmer deadbaits or jigged soft lures, 3–4 inches long, tailored to the depth, are more selective for zander. Work lures slowly near the bottom, especially at first light or in low, coloured water.

The surrounding fenland drains and cuts offer classic roach and bream fishing. In spring and autumn, groundbait feeder tactics with a dark, crumb-based mix and a steady trickle of pinkies, casters or chopped worm pick out better fish. Keep casts to the same clip to build a tight line of feed. On clear, still days, scale down to light hooklengths and size 18–20 hooks, but when the wind chops the surface, you can step up gear and feed more positively for bream and skimmers.

Peterborough’s numerous stillwaters and commercial fisheries are ideal for carp, F1s, tench and crucians. In warmer months, margin fishing is deadly in the last two hours of daylight. Use 6–8 mm pellets, corn or meat over micro pellets, and keep feeding little and often to pin fish in the peg. Pole tactics dominate on many commercials, but a method feeder with a short hooklength and small wafter or banded pellet is a reliable approach on larger lakes and gravel pits.

For specimen carp in local pits, focus on spring and autumn when fish patrol the margins and warm upper layers. Start by leading around to find clean gravel patches or firm silt on the edge of weedbeds, then place small, accurate beds of boilies with a matching hookbait. Zigs can be lethal on bright, high-pressure days when carp sit mid-water and ignore bottom baits. Always watch for showing fish and be ready to move rather than sitting on a quiet swim.

Year-round, success around Peterborough comes from reading each venue’s features—such as reed lines, overhanging trees, drop-offs and boat channels—and matching rigs and feed levels to clarity and flow. Travel light on the river, refine tackle on the drains, and fish accurately with regular but measured feeding on the commercials for consistent results.

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 1 beaches and bays in this area.
