Sun and Moon Times

The sun will be at it's highest point at . Today we have 13:33 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 York

Fishing in York, UK is dominated by the River Ouse flowing through the city centre and the smaller River Foss, with additional opportunities on nearby drains, canals and stillwaters. These mixed coarse rivers hold strong populations of barbel, chub, roach and perch, along with pike, bream and occasional grayling and trout in cleaner tributaries. The key to consistent results around York is reading the river levels, understanding seasonal movements, and targeting the many distinct features created by bridges, bends and marinas.

Seasonal patterns on the Ouse and Foss are pronounced. In late autumn and winter, coloured, rising water often switches barbel and chub on, especially along crease lines and below warm-water inflows. Ledgered meat, cheese paste or boilies work well then, with heavier feeders needed in flood conditions. Roach, dace and perch tend to shoal tighter in deeper, steadier runs and near marinas; punch bread, pinkies or maggots on a fine line score when the water clears and temperatures drop. Pike fishing around York picks up from first frosts through to early spring, with fish holding near drop-offs, boat moorings and slack water off the main flow.

As spring and summer arrive, fish spread out along marginal cover, under overhanging trees and along inside lines. Evening sessions become especially productive. Barbel patrol gravel runs and tails of deeper holes; chub are often sighted under cover, waiting for loose feed. Roach and bream respond well to regular groundbaiting on slower inside bends. Perch hunt among pilings and around structure, where small lures or worm-tipped rigs can be deadly. Warm, settled conditions suit waggler and pole tactics for mixed bags of silvers, while feeder fishing remains reliable on the larger, more powerful sections of the River Ouse.

Key habitats around York include bridge swims, bends, marinas and confluences. Bridge pilings break the flow and create holding spots for chub, perch and pike. Bends with a clear outside line often carry scoured, firmer gravel where barbel and bigger chub feed, especially at dusk. Marinas and boat basins provide calmer water that attracts roach, bream and perch. On the smaller River Foss, look for overhanging bushes, reed beds and any changes in depth; these subtle features concentrate fish in an otherwise uniform channel.

Effective techniques and rigs depend on species and flow. For barbel and chub, a simple running rig with a robust hooklength, 1–2 oz lead or feeder and strong mainline is standard. Feed a tight area with pellets, hemp or broken boilies and fish just downstream. For roach, dace and smaller species, stick float or waggler trotted down the flow with maggots, casters or bread remains a top method; fine lines and small hooks improve bites in clear water. On steadier sections, a cage feeder packed with groundbait and a short hooklength picks out roach, skimmers and the odd bream.

Lure and predator anglers find solid sport on the Ouse and Foss. Pike and perch respond to soft plastics, spinnerbaits and small crankbaits worked along the edge of flow, beside boats, near drains and around any submerged cover. Vary the retrieve speed and depth until you locate active fish. In coloured water, choose lures with vibration and strong silhouettes; in clearer conditions, natural patterns and subtle presentations often outfish brighter options.

Success when fishing around York comes from mobility and observation. Travel light, explore multiple pegs, and adjust depth, shotting and feeding patterns to match the flow and clarity on the day. Mark productive features for return visits, as fish frequently hold in the same prime areas season after season.
