What
is the Solunar Theory?
Answer:
It is a timing method used by fishermen and hunters
to increase their chances of catching more fish
or game.
In 1926 , John Alden Knight decided to evaluate
33 factors which might influence the behavior
of fresh or saltwater fish that caused them to
be periodically more active. Of those, three seemed
to merit further examination: sunrise/sunset,
phase of the moon, and tides. From that effort,
this avid fly fisherman created the Solunar Theory
(Sol = sun ,and Lunar = moon). Knight used this
information to publish the first Solunar Tables
in 1936.
