  • John Alden Knight's solunar theory (1926) holds that animals are most active when the moon stands highest or lowest (major periods, about 2 hours) and when it rises or sets (minor periods, about 1 hour). Days around new and full moon count more, as do periods that meet sunrise or sunset. It is a tradition, not a guarantee – weather, water temperature and pressure matter at least as much. The moon times themselves are calculated exactly for your place.
