Sun and Moon Times

The sun will be at it's highest point at . Today we have 17:24 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 Falkirk

Falkirk sits at the crossroads of two iconic Scottish canals and a network of stillwaters, making it a productive base for coarse, predator and light game fishing. The Forth & Clyde Canal, Union Canal and nearby club waters all offer accessible venues with consistent sport if you match your tactics to season and water type.

On the canals around Falkirk, pike, perch, roach and bream are the main targets. Spring sees fish spreading out from wintering basins into the main cuts. As water temperatures rise, travel light and cover water, focusing on junctions, moorings and turning bays. Small soft plastics, spinners and wobbling deadbaits score well for canal pike and perch, while light pole or waggler rigs with pinkies, maggots or small worms pick up mixed bags of silvers.

Through summer, the canals can turn clear and boat traffic increases, so feeding windows tighten to early morning and late evening. Fish down the track and across on the far shelf with fine tackle: 0.08–0.12 mm hooklengths, size 18–22 hooks and groundbait laced with micro pellets or chopped worm. Roach and skimmers respond well to regular, small balls of groundbait, with loose-fed caster or hemp sorting out better stamp fish. Surface ripple and shade from overhanging bushes are key holding features.

In autumn, predator fishing around Falkirk really comes into its own. Baitfish shoal up near marinas, locks and deeper pound sections, drawing in pike and perch. Scale up wire traces and use slightly larger deadbaits such as smelt, sardine or half mackerel fished under a float. Lure anglers do well with bright shads and paddle tails worked slowly along the boat channel drop-off. Watch for bankside reed beds and any inflowing drains, which often hold the better fish.

Winter canal fishing rewards patient, precise anglers. Silver fish shoal tightly in deeper stretches and basin areas. A static, small bloodworm or joker-based groundbait approach, with single maggot or pinkie on the hook, can produce heavy nets of roach and small bream on the right day. For predators, downsize to smaller deadbaits or micro-soft plastics fished ultra-slow, concentrating on the deepest known sections and around moored boats where water temperature is marginally higher.

Stillwaters and ponds in the greater Falkirk area hold carp, tench, bream and stocked trout. In warmer months, carp respond to method feeders with wafters or short hair-rigged corn tight to features, while tench patrol marginal shelves at dawn and dusk, taking worm-and-caster cocktails over dark groundbait. On trout waters, small buzzers, nymphs and mini lures fished on intermediate or floating lines work well from spring through autumn, with fry patterns coming into play late in the year.

Across all Falkirk venues, travel with a compact selection of gear, pay attention to plumbing depths and feed sparingly until you gauge fish response. The mix of canals and stillwaters means you can always find a sheltered, fishable option whatever the weather, keeping you on consistent sport throughout the year.

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 9 beaches and bays in this area.
