Thats a good question really. That is always the plan but McCutcheon Creek measured 35 degrees just an hour ago. I dropped back by just to look again....you can tell I don't have much to do.....LOL. It only takes about 5 degrees difference to put them in thermal shock but they can usually survive that and bounce back but I am talking abut 52 degree water and then being dumped in 44 degree water or so. But it is quite obvious the temps weren't too close at the river or the creek or we wouldn't have so many dead fish around.
