Today, water by water.

One score per water, computed the same way every morning: sun and moon (calculated), the season list (sourced from our own guides), and live gauge readings when the gauges answer. It is a deterministic weighted calculation with the working shown — not an AI model, and never a guess. Anything we could not measure is named, not invented.

What this score is — and is not

Each window’s score is a fixed, published weighting of things we can actually know: dawn and dusk, solunar periods computed from the moon’s real position, the moon phase, and — when the gauges answer — live water temperature, tide movement and wind. The weights are on the Crow’s Nest, where the forecast also grades itself against the community’s stamped catches.

It is not an AI model, it does not learn, and it never fills a gap with a guess: a factor we could not measure is listed under “not in this score” by name. Fish remain under no obligation to read any of it.
