well seen on a post yesturday the water temp at taney was 42 degrees. Was wondering at that temp would the trout be more sluggish than if the water temp waS 50? As for as feeding more etc ty

GOOGLE "OPTIMUM TROUT TEMPERATURES". YOU WILL FIND OUT MORE THAN YOU WANT TO KNOW.

I'd say 50.

Some say 55 and most say 60.

I was a little low.

42 is cold but I don't think it's affecting our trout. Fight hard and feeding well.

Trout can stand colder water, anything above 65 to 70 and they stop feeding and are more prone to disease. Most hatcheries are fed on spring water which is about 55 degrees on average.
