Best times · fresh stockings · best bets

Today's solunar windows for Alaska's most-stocked waters, what the trucks just did, and where the record says to go. Recomputed every morning from the Alaska Department of Fish and Game feed and the moon's own arithmetic.

Computed this evening, Oct 23 · moon: waxing gibbous, 93% lit

Major and minor periods are solunar times, the traditional feeding-time theory: majors around the moon's transit overhead and underfoot, minors around moonrise and moonset. Theory, not a measurement; the stocking dates and gauge readings are measured. Times are Alaska Time (AKDT), each water computed at its own coordinates. Every water page carries its own windows.
