How to Read This Calendar
Major periods (≈2 hours) are centered on lunar transit (when the moon is highest in the sky) and lunar opposition (when the moon is directly underfoot). These are typically the strongest feeding windows.
Minor periods (≈1 hour) are centered on moonrise and moonset. They're secondary windows that often produce well — especially when they coincide with sunrise or sunset.
Day rating combines moon phase (peak near new and full moons, when lunar gravity is strongest) with the overlap of major periods and the dawn/dusk twilight. A 4–5 star day stacks all three.
At Charlotte-Sunapee Lake (lat 26.94°N), the longest day of the year is around June 21 with 13h 50m of daylight. The shortest is around December 21 with 10h 27m. Plan summer trips around the early-morning bite (around 5:30 AM) and the long evening window before sunset.

Are major or minor solunar periods more important?
