The year-round season chart
When is each fish worth chasing? This is the whole year at a glance: 198 species down the side, twelve months across the top, and a mark in every month a fish is active, worked out from each species' own seasonal notes. For a deeper look at right now, see what's biting this month.
Timing follows a temperate Northern Hemisphere pattern and shifts with your latitude and water. In the Southern Hemisphere, flip it by six months. A guide to plan around, not a guarantee.
No fish matches that.
A filled month means the species is generally worth targeting, not that it vanishes the rest of the year. Use it to plan a trip or a species hit-list, then check the day itself with the today's conditions tool and time a fish's spawn with the spawning temperature chart.
