Wind Speed and Direction
Wind Direction:
Wind Speed:
Wind Direction and Speed are one of the most important aspects for choosing a fishing spot. An offshore wind can help land-based anglers with longer casting distances, while an onshore wind will make kayak fishing safer. Often fish will also move to certain feeding areas depending on the wind direction. Check out the long term wind forecast at the charts below.
Fishing Barometer
Atmospheric Pressure:
Change since midnight:
Trend for next 6 hours:
Atmospheric or Barometric Pressure affects fish activity. The best fishing can be had on a rising barometer and also the time just before it is falling. A steady barometer in the higher ranges can also mean good fishing. A falling or low barometer reading without much change is usually not a very good time for fishing.
UV Effect on Fishing
As a rule of thumb, the higher the UV index, the deeper fish will move. Shallow water fishing is best done at times with a low UV index. When the UV is high, stick to early mornings, late evenings and shaded areas. The effect is less noticable in deeper water, but often a higher UV index can produce good results in the deep.

October Fishing Report
Cooler nights are dropping water temps around Edmonton, pushing a strong fall bite. On the North Saskatchewan River, walleye and northern pike are active along current seams and deeper holes; occasional burbot and mountain whitefish show on deeper runs. Water clarity varies after rain, so focus on slower, protected sections when the river is up.
Urban ponds like Hermitage Park and other city-stocked waters are producing rainbow trout, especially on calmer days with clear water. Small spoons, spinners, or suspending bait under a float work well; downsize when the bite gets finicky.
Best action often comes during late morning to mid-afternoon warm-ups and on stable-weather stretches. In the river, jig-and-minnow combos, paddle-tail swimbaits, and slow-rolled spoons draw strikes; in ponds, retrieve slowly and keep presentations near mid-depth.
Top Tip: As water cools, slow everything down—use smaller profiles and add fluorocarbon leaders (8–12 lb for trout, 12–20 lb with a short wire for pike) to improve stealth and land more fish.
