We attempt to correlate all of the available solar-neutrino capture-rate data with the strong magnetic fields these neutrinos encounter in the solar interior along their Earth-bound path. We approximate these fields using the (photospheric, magnetograph-measured) surface magnetic flux from central latitude bands, time delayed to proxy the solar interior. Our strongest evidence for anticorrelation is for magnetic fields within the central $\pm 5^{0}$ solar-latitude band that have been delayed by 0.34 years. Assuming a neutrino-magnetic interaction, this might indicate that interior fields travel to the solar surface in this period of time. As more solar-neutrino flux information is gathered, the question of whether such evidence is physical or statistical in nature should be resolved, providing that new data span enough solar cycles and that correlation studies focus on these isolated fields.
