I have talked about water temperature before. All fish are vulnerable when the water warms. Just because a fish swims off does not mean it is ok. Fish will be dropping into deeper water. I would recommend considering either not fishing or constantly monitor water temperature. Karen and I are not fishing at these temperatures at the moment!
If you do venture out, take a water thermometer with you and use the guidelines in a previous post as a guide!
We do fish lakes that are glacier feed and the water temperature is definitely cold and then it is just fine to fish!
The best rule of thumb is use a thermometer and if the water temperature gets close to 67 or 68F, shut it down. That includes non trout species as well! Some fly fishers beef up the tippet and quickly land the fish and release it with no pictures when they do fish when the water temperatures are rising!
