How score is calculated: precipitation chance, wind, temperature, cloud cover, and moon phase are combined into a 0–100 score. You can customize weights in the code.

Tip: for more advanced fishing predictions add tide/solunar data, water temp, and local historical patterns.
); } /* README (short) 1) Create a new React app (Vite or CRA). Place this component as src/FishTime.jsx and import it in App.jsx. 2) Install Tailwind or adjust classes to your CSS system. 3) Set REACT_APP_OWM_KEY in your environment, or paste your key in the UI for demo. 4) Run the app and enter a US ZIP code to see the 7-day fishing outlook. Notes & improvements: - Add caching of geocode results and daily barometer trends for better accuracy. - Add species presets (bass, trout, walleye) with different temp/wind preferences. - Add a small backend to securely store the API key and handle rate limits. */
