An updated forecast of the daily feeding times of fish and game for every day of the year!
For over 70 years the sportsmen in the United States and, increasingly, around the world have carried in their fishing vest or game pocket the handy annual edition of the SOLUNAR TABLES®, the booklet that tells them the four times in 24 hours that fish and game will be most active. |
 | ||
| Years ago, while there was still such as thing as legal market hunting, the men who made their living by shooting game and catching fish found that these odd-hour activity periods seemed to be in
rhythm with the moon's daily southings. They planned their work in accord with this schedule, calculated rather loosely, going afield when the moon was directly overhead or directly underfoot. "Moon Up - Moon Down" was the rule. By taking this old schedule of "Moon Up - Moon Down" and applying modern science to it, we learned much of wildlife behavior. And in so doing we have learned to forecast, a year or more in advance, these odd-hour activity and feeding schedule, we have coined the word "Solunar", a combination of "sol" and "lunar". Thus, the odd-hour periods are called Solunar Periods. Click here to see a page out of the Solunar Tables booklet.

John Alden Knight's story of the Solunar Theory
John Alden Knight, considered by many to be the dean of modern sportsmen, was the author of many books and magazine articles. He originated the barometric theory of fishing, tied and used the first nymph flies in the United States. He lectured on fishing at Columbia University from 1938 to 1940 and was the author of the first nationally syndicated newspaper column on hunting and fishing. Among his honors are: the first writer to receive the Gold Plaque of the Hunting and Fishing Hall of Fame and the Dolphin Award from the Fishing Hall of Fame. | ||

Moon Up - Moon Down is John Alden Knight's story of the discovery of an old-time market hunter's scheduling and his perfecting of it through not only observation but research. - The SOLUNAR TABLES® Out-of-print for many years, this is the full original text with a brief afterword that brings the story of the SOLUNAR TABLES® up-to-date. Mr. Knight's son, Richard Alden Knight, grew up on hunting and fishing and worked very closely in perfecting the SOLUNAR TABLES® to their present high degree of accuracy. He was also the author of many books and magazine articles. He was a professional fly casting champion, trap and skeet shooting champion and held, at various times, 19 national and international awards. He was also the youngest member of The Fly Fishing Hall of Fame where he and his father were the first father and son combination ever admitted. | |||
