Species context

Why this score

Poor (25/100) for Pumpkinseed: water is estimated at 41°F, below Pumpkinseed's 75-89°F optimal range. This is a day-level estimate beyond the hourly forecast horizon, so there's no single best hour to break down.

When best caught

It's currently fall. Pumpkinseed typically hold 3-10 ft deep this time of year — at an estimated 41°F, this looks like a slower time of year to target them, since water temp is outside their optimal range.

Current depth

3-10 ft

This is the seasonal depth band from the species model, based on this species' typical behavior, not this lake's actual structure.
