You guys are way beyond my fishing level. I didn't know you could even throw anything but a 1/16 Ned rig on table rock! Mind blown for sure. 😊.  So back to my initial question any idea of the water temp down at cricket? Is it worth me going all the way down there? Like water temp in the mid 50s? Or should I just hang out on the main lake?  

Definitely not going to be in the mid 50’s , cape fair was 46 today . I would assume cricket creek is comparable.

I saw more 43 and 44° temps today at Cape Fair and only one 46° but different brands register differently.

We could all do that from home with the Channel 10 bow tie guy and more info from wrench.

I was at my condo and that guy came on for the weather.   I thought it was a joke or parody or something.   I couldn’t look away after I realized he was really the weather guy.  😂

I told ya how to find out.   Were you not paying attention, or did you think I was just talking BS ?

I like the formula.  I just don't know if it always applies. For example,  the next 3 days highs average around 74 and the lows around 45 so that equals 119 divided by 2 equals 59.5. Do you really think the water temp will be 59 by Friday afternoon? Not trying to be smart, like I said, I am no expert.

If you truly had an average high of 74° for 3 days straight,  and average lows of 45° for 3 days straight.....then yes. 

But you won't.....so NO you will not have 59° stream surface temp by Friday.  

Just because it gets up to 74° for 1 hour each day does not make your average high 74° 

What you can expect however (according to the WeatherBug app and my calculations for your region) is 48.5° (give or take a degree or two) surface temp.   Please check it Friday and let me know if I'm wrong.  Thx 🙂

Back to my original comment,  Dang Math! I didn't even know the average high of the 3 days couldn't be the actual high for those 3 days. Or whatever it is. 48.5 sounds pretty close though. Thanks for trying to help, but I may be beyond it. Guess i will just have to go catch fish without knowing if the creeks are a lot warmer than the main lake on Friday. I hope everyone catches some this beautiful week!
