Sun and Moon
The sun will be at it's highest point at . Today we have 10:57 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.

New Moon is generally a very productive time for fishing. Dark nights mean that many predators feed more actively during daylight hours. The combined gravity of sun and moon during New Moon days has a stronger effect on all water bodies, leads to increased food availabilty and hence better fishing.
  • Distance to earth:
    405,064 km
    Proximity:
    1.5 %
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 New Moon at 1% lumination. According to the Solunar Theory, today is a excellent 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. The next best fishing time ( ) starts in -3 hour and -47 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. The graph below shows you the 3 hourly weather progression over the next 7 days. Scroll the graph left or right to see more.

October Fishing Report

Cooler October weather in Takoma Park has Sligo Creek and the Northwest Branch running crisp and lively. Expect a steady bite from bluegill/sunfish, fallfish, and creek chub, with occasional largemouth bass in deeper pools. On clearer days, small inline spinners and 1/16–1/32 oz jig-head soft plastics work well; after rain, switch to darker profiles that push water.

The best windows are early and late, but on chilly mornings the bite often peaks during the midday warm-up. Target deeper pools below riffles, current seams near bridge pilings, and shaded undercut banks. Use light line (4–6 lb) and a subtle presentation; the water is typically clear unless there’s recent runoff.

For a finesse approach, drift small worms or nymph-style soft plastics through seams and let them swing naturally. Compact micro-crankbaits can trigger reaction strikes from roaming bass in the afternoon.

Top tip: Wear polarized glasses and stand downstream—spot fish holding in the tailouts, then cast past them and retrieve with the current to avoid spooking wary creek bass and panfish.
