A chronological plan for when to fish and what to try, based on today’s leading hatch prospects.

Seasonal hatch outlook

What we’re learning

Checking prediction history against real observations…
Early evidence only. Today’s hatch probabilities remain unchanged until enough matched observations exist.

Log a hatch observation

Record what you actually see. River level and weather are attached automatically from the nearest stored Matlock observation. Logging no hatch is valuable too — select “No hatch observed” when you were watching the river but saw no meaningful hatch.
Early evidence only. Today’s hatch probabilities remain unchanged until enough matched observations exist.
