Moon overhead, moon underfoot, moonrise and moonset — the traditional solunar windows for hunting and fishing. Computed from the moon's position; folklore, not science (see note below).

Times in Spokane, WA's local clock (standard/daylight offset baked in; moon times carry ±30 min at mid-latitudes — the engine is honest about this).
Honest note: solunar theory (John Alden Knight, 1926) claims game activity peaks near moon overhead/underfoot and at new/full moons. Field studies are mixed to negative — treat this as tradition and fun, not a forecast. No scientific guarantee is made or implied.
Solunar times are the moon-overhead and moon-underfoot windows when fish and game are traditionally most active. Today's times for Spokane, WA are computed from the moon's actual position.
The major periods — moon overhead and moon underfoot — are shown above with the day's star rating, blending moon phase strength with the position windows.
Solunar theory is folklore, not established science — but the moon position and phase data behind the tables is real astronomy, computed for the city's exact coordinates.
