Moon Phase

Wra22

do you guys who fish a lot in fresh water think moon phase has much of an impact?  It makes sense to me for inshore salt because of tide flow.  I am wondering about fresh water with no tide influence. Day and night might be different.

I have noticed that moon phase does affect trolling for bream around grass beds at night.  A new moon has worked best but i think it has to do with the fish seeing the boat outline or not.

I use a fishing app that shows the daily feeding cycles of fish based on lunar calendar. It is very accurate.

That being said, I have tried to not let myself get roped into believing that on a 12 out of 100 day that fish won't bite. I've had some good fishing days when the app said chances were low, and I have had some bad fishing days when the app said 96 out of 100.

The lunar calendar does not take into account as a factor things like the weather, barometric pressure changes, temperature, etc. It is just one tool in our bag of tricks.
