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
Cooling water on the Red and Winnipeg Rivers is kicking off the fall bite. Anglers are finding strong numbers of Walleye and Sauger near current seams and deeper edges around Lockport and downstream bends. The best window has been late morning through mid‑afternoon as surface temps stabilize after chilly nights.
Vertically jigging 3/8–1/2 oz jigs tipped with emerald shiners is producing; switch to brighter chartreuse or orange when the river muddies after wind. On calmer, clearer days, a subtle slow‑drift with live bait shines. Big Channel Catfish are still active in slower holes—cut goldeye on a slip sinker rig is reliable. Back bays and marina mouths hold opportunistic Northern Pike; medium spoons or suspending jerkbaits worked just above remaining weeds draw strikes.
Expect bites to surge ahead of fronts and dip right after; downsizing jigs and dragging slower can keep fish chewing. Dress warm, watch for floating debris, and use a net for those heavy fall eyes.
Top tip: Mark schools on your sonar, then circle up‑current and present baits downstream so they naturally sweep through the strike zone without leaving the spot.
