Field notes
Hunter Water supply dam north of Dungog, shore-fishing only and no powered boats. Stocked with bass; fish from the wall and the picnic point at dusk on small surface lures. Pretty spot, low pressure.

Best windows combine civil twilight with the hour either side of sun transit — the universal low-light feeding window most species respond to. Moon phase influence is folkloric; full and new moons coincide with the strongest tide swings.
