Arizona Fishing Forecast
Best times · fresh stockings · best bets
Today's solunar windows for Arizona's most-stocked waters, what the trucks just did, and where the record says to go. Recomputed every morning from the Arizona Game and Fish Department 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 Mountain Time (MST), each water computed at its own coordinates. Every water page carries its own windows.
