I wouldn't think so because like you said current would be the main factor as it drives food, O2 and temps for them.
I believe the big thing with cold fronts on fish like bass is the sudden change. They either go from water a certain temp to few degrees cooler in small amount of time, they go from having a steady pressure and then it changes messing with their system or a really good front that does both. We every year go from nice warm days of late summer to like today much cooler and it makes us sluggish not wanting to do much outside so we stay near our cover. But after a while of constant days like today its not too bad. Fish, I believe are the same way. In a river too much is constant even though everything above it may change throughout the year. Now if the flow changes all bets are off.
