Solunar feeding forecasts, major and minor fish activity windows, real-time USGS water temperature, and NOAA atmospheric pressure trends for Jordanelle Reservoir (Utah). Verified depth tactics, biological thermal baselines, and conservation guidelines for freshwater anglers.
Flood Watch issued October 10 at 4:07AM MDT until October 12 at 6:00PM MDT by NWS Salt Lake City UT
Depth Guide: Prime metabolic feeding range; game fish actively hunt both shallow flats and mid-depth ambush contours.
Feeding Index: Steady barometric pressure sustains predictable feeding habits across primary ambush points and drop-offs.
Chop & Presentation: Light surface ripple breaks sunlight glare and disguises terminal tackle, prompting cautious game fish to strike moving lures.
Lunar Timing: Prime major window active around 12:28 PM MDT – 2:28 PM MDT. Astronomical alignment drives peak foraging intensity on Jordanelle Reservoir.
Current index calculated from verified local atmospheric, hydrographic & alert inputs.
Fair for fishing (68/100), from 6 available inputs. Supporting this: Wind 8 mph from the southwest. Measured water temperature 59°F from a representative gauge 9.0 mi away. Provisional data. The forecast mentions thunderstorms, which carries a risk penalty. Not available from a verified source for this lake: pressure trend. Confidence is moderate (72%) because some inputs are unavailable or older than ideal.
Major feeding periods coincide with lunar transit (moon overhead and underfoot); minor periods occur during moonrise and moonset.
Moon Overhead (Transit)
Moon Underfoot (Antitransit)
| Feeding Window | Period Type | Astronomical Trigger | Feeding Intensity |
|---|---|---|---|
| 12:28 PM MDT – 2:28 PM MDT | Major Window | Moon Overhead (Transit) | High |
| 12:52 AM MDT – 2:52 AM MDT | Major Window | Moon Underfoot (Antitransit) | High |
| 7:12 AM MDT – 8:12 AM MDT | Minor Window | Moonrise | Moderate |
| 6:36 PM MDT – 7:36 PM MDT | Minor Window | Moonset | Moderate |
Solunar Science: Major periods produce peak gravitational tidal pull on aquatic organisms. Times and moon phase are computed locally from Jordanelle Reservoir's coordinates and current astronomical orbit.
