Long Description: ----------------- Since the earliest times man has been aware of a cyclic pattern associated with his success in hunting and fishing. Over the years he has observed a relationship between feeding and activity patterns of fish and game and the phases of the moon. This is not to say that there are not many other factors such as temperature, barometric pressure and others but all serious hunters and fishermen will agree that this lunar relationship is real and important. It is for this reason that many publications print probability graphs or Over/Under time tables to help you determine the most productive hunting and fishing times. The program FISHTIME has been written to evaluate not only the moon's phases but also its position in the sky including its North South travels during a lunar month as it orbits the earth. It allows you to do this for any date after January 1st, 1980 and for any location in the continental United States. In addition, it includes the effects involving the time of day such as dawn and twilight which have always played an important part in the feeding patterns of fish and game. FISHTIME produces a graphic display of fishing conditions for the selected date(s) or will display or print a list of prime hunting and fishing times for the dates selected.
