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 Great Bear Lake South Basin; Bloomingdale Township (lat 42.20°N), the longest day of the year is around June 21 with 15h 16m of daylight. The shortest is around December 21 with 9h 5m. Plan summer trips around the early-morning bite (around 5:30 AM) and the long evening window before sunset.
