Don: Yeah, that is exactly what these seem to have done... It is supposed to remain warm for a few days, so tomorrow, I'll try it again and see if they are well enough to eat LOL...Now that you said that.. I have goldfish in a little backyard pond that are about 8 inches long, and when it turns cold real quick (or hot) they too, won't eat until it stabilizes.. Thanks, Chuck

I used to have a 155 gal aquarium with 3 10-pound pacu's in it. I didn't mean to, they just grew that big from little guys. One winter night the heater went out and the aquaruim, which was downstairs, chilled off very rapidly overnight. I bought a new heater the next day, and warmed the tank back up, but the fish seemed like they weren't feeling good and didn't eat for another 3 days. They finally pulled out of it and ate like pigs for a week. So now you have something to look forward to- a feeding frenzy.

Yep "FISHING" not "catching" cause i didn't even get a bite LOL... Jimmy D.. I tried the NW side like you said, and I found the original creek bed, and there they were, schooled up.. But they would not bite for nothing..I tried wet flies, dry flies, and damp flies LOL... I then put on a curly grub tailed jig and trolled it through those fish.. NOTHING.. I also talked to about four boatloads of other (bass fishermen) ppl fishing, and nobody had caught anything...I don't know what the problem is. The surface water temp is 52-54 degrees, and i guess it got cold too quick the other week and still has the fish's metabolism's still slowed down to much to be hungry....
