Best fishing times on lakes, by state

Solunar fishing times for 5,241 lakes and reservoirs in the United States: the major and minor periods of each day, sunrise and sunset and the moon phase, for 8 days. Pick your state.

Major periods, about two hours each, are centered on the moon passing overhead or underfoot. Minor periods, about an hour, are centered on moonrise and moonset. By solunar tradition the days around the new and full moon are the strongest, and many anglers plan for a major period that falls on a moving tide.
