How to fish it · for Brown Trout
When

Why this works
Poor — barometric pressure is working for you, but water clarity is the limiting factor today.

What would change the calculation
Cooler water — back toward the 10–16 °C ideal band — would lift the score and ease welfare.
A drop and clear would lift the flow and clarity scores.
The dawn and dusk windows score higher than the midday lull.
