Sun and Moon Times

The sun will be at it's highest point at . Today we have 17:27 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.

Green and yellow areas indicate the best fishing times (major and minor). Blue areas indicate high and low tides. The center shows the current moon phase which is a Waning Gibbous at 86% lumination. According to the Solunar Theory, today is a average day for fishing, but you need to cross check this with the current weather forecast for a final decision. Today some bite times coincide with sunrise or sunset. Those will be particularly good times for fishing and are indicated by sun icons. Currently we have a minor fishing time. The next best fishing time ( ) starts in -8 hour and -13 minute. The gray time indicator displays the current local time.

For fishing, stronger tides are often favourable as they cause stronger currents and more motion on the sea bed. The above tidal coefficients give us an indication of how strong the tides are compared to their average. A value over 90 indicates very strong tides, known as spring tides. A low value indicates weak tides, known as neap tides. The tidal coefficient can range from 20 to 120 with a mean value of 70. A higher number usually indicates better fishing.

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 Glenrothes

Glenrothes fishing is built around the River Leven and a cluster of well-managed stillwaters and commercial coarse venues across Fife. Within 20–30 minutes’ drive you can be casting a fly for brown trout, ledgering for bream and carp, or working lures for pike and perch, making Glenrothes a versatile hub for Scottish freshwater fishing.

The River Leven is the key moving-water option close to Glenrothes. It carries brown trout, grayling and migratory salmon and sea trout, with resident trout and grayling offering the most consistent local sport. From late March through early June, fly anglers do well with upstream dry flies and spiders, targeting riffles and broken glides. Simple patterns such as Parachute Adams, CDC emergers and traditional North Country spiders in size 14–18 cover most hatches. In summer, scale down tippet and flies to tempt fish from clear, low water and concentrate on the first and last light for the best surface activity.

Through late autumn and winter, grayling become the prime Leven target. Short French or Czech nymphing leaders with small hare’s ear or pheasant tail nymphs fished close to the bed are reliable, especially in deeper seams below weirs and bridge pools. A wading staff and studded boots are practical essentials; much of the river is gravelly and can be slick after rain, and quietly wading into position is often the difference between spooking fish and getting takes.

Stillwater trout fishing around Glenrothes is supported by a number of stocked fisheries across Fife, typically 10–30 minutes away by car. Most offer bank and boat access for rainbows and sometimes browns and blues. In spring and autumn, intermediate lines and small lures or mini snakes produce steady action when fish cruise mid‑water. As temperatures rise in late spring, switch to floaters with buzzers, diawl bachs and crunchers fished slowly on a long leader; watch for subtle line twitches and tighten rather than striking hard to avoid pulling hooks.

For coarse fishing near Glenrothes, a mix of commercial and club stillwaters hold carp, bream, tench, roach, rudd and perch. Carp tactics are familiar UK fare: method feeders with micro pellets and small wafters, or simple inline leads with balanced boilies over light baiting. On pressured venues, scaling down to 6–8 mm pellets, short hooklinks and size 10–12 hooks can produce more bites than big, obvious rigs. Early and late in the day, margin spots with a bit of loose feed often out-fish open water, especially in summer when carp patrol the edges and reed lines.

Roach, skimmers and perch respond to pole or waggler tactics over groundbait and chopped worm. Start with small amounts of feed and increase only when bites become regular. In colder months, single maggot or pinkie on a fine wire hook can keep the float going when carp switch off. Perch are a solid fallback across many Glenrothes-area waters; small jigs, dropshot rigs or simple worm tails fished tight to features such as platforms, overhanging trees and aerators are consistent producers.

Because conditions on Fife waters can change quickly with rain and temperature swings, keep tackle adaptable. Carry a range of hook sizes, shot, feeders and a couple of spare spools or fly lines to cover from fine winter tactics to heavier summer carp and pike work. Checking recent catch reports from local fisheries and tackle shops in and around Glenrothes helps you fine-tune bait choice and methods before you set off, maximising your time on the bank.

Interactive Fishing Map for the greater Glenrothes area

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 5 beaches and bays in this area.

Kirkcaldy Bay - 11.52804263787km , Largo Bay - 14.697437199km , Burntisland Beach - 15.16007163377km , Silversands Bay - 17.10476471248km , Shell Bay - 18.65477836009km

Harbours and Marinas can often times be productive fishing spots for land based fishing as their sheltered environment attracts a wide variety of bait fish. Similar to river mouths, harbour entrances are also great places to fish as lots of fish will move in and out with the rising and falling tides. There are 5 main harbours in this area.

Kirkcaldy Harbour - 8.85495397892km, Burntisland outer harbour - 15.89599429068km, Kinghorn Harbour - 17.84735842485km, Kirkealdy Harbour - 17.91987088445km, Leith Harbour - 18.38330949302km
